          Hint: let $b_n=a_k$ if $n=k!$ and $0$ if $n$ is not a factorial. We have to find the radius of convergence of $sum b_nz^{n}$. Use root test. Can you see that the radius of convergence is $1$ provided $0<L<infty$?.

            Well, not quite irrespective. Certain possibilities open if $L=0$ or $L=infty$. Short of that, you are right.

          Using the Cauchy-Hadamard theorem:



          $r=frac1{limsup_{ntoinfty}sqrt[n!]{a_n}}=frac1{limsup_{ntoinfty}sqrt[(n-1)!]L}=1$, for $Lneq0,infty$.
