I have seen several posts as to how to calculate factorial of
fractions like using gamma method. Can any one explain it using any
approximation such as sterling's?. I am able to calculate half
fractions using gamma but not the other fractions.


For example (3.142)!

Have a look at Peter Luschny's page

Approximation Formulas for the Factorial Function n!

http://www.luschny.de/math/factorial/approx/SimpleCases.html

All formulas given there are also valid for non-integer arguments n.
