Making a larger sum
I have the following code, and the sum sign isn't tall enough, the fraction sticks out from the top and bottom, how do I correct this?
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
$$sum_{k=n+1}^{infty} frac{1}{k!}$$
end{document}
Thanks in advance.

Try using[ displaystylesum_{k=n+1}^{infty} frac{1}{k!} ].

That's how the summation sign is expected to be. Don't worry.

@Teepeemm yes it is! You code compiled properly here. I thought it could be of some help using that to archive what you needed.

You may try with the relsize package:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{relsize}
begin{document}
[ sum_{k=n+1}^{infty} frac{1}{k!} ]
[ mathlarger{sum}_{k=n+1}^{infty} frac{1}{k!} ]

Various packages let you draw larger-than-normal sum (and prod and int and ...) symbols. Here are the choices offered by the mtpro2 math font package. The red one is produced by sum in display-style math mode. (Aside: The full mtpro2 package is not free of charge; however, it's lite subset -- which is all that's needed to create the following screenshot -- is indeed free. It can be downloaded from this site.
That said, it would be extremely unusual, to put it mildly, to ever require anything larger than xlsum. Speaking for myself, the symbols drawn by XLsum, XXLsum, and XXXLsum are beyond any conceivable (but still legitimate) typographic need.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{xcolor}
usepackage[lite]{mtpro2}
begin{document}
$vcenter{hbox{$Sigma$}} % just for reference
sum % appearance in text-style (inline) math mode
displaystyle textcolor{red}{sum} % appearance in display-style math mode
xlsum
XLsum XXLsum XXXLsum$
