      Based on the exponential complete Bell polynomials \(Y_n\) defined by NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\exp\Biggl(\sum^\infty_{m=1} x_m\cdot t^m/m!\Biggr)= \sum^\infty_{n=0} Y_n(x_1,\dots, x_n)\,t^n/n!,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE combined with Stirling's formula, the author obtains a new asymptotic approximation for the gamma function, unifying many earlier results in the literature (De Moivre, Gosper, Gosper-Smith, Laplace, Ramanujan, Batir, Chen, Nemes, etc.). Also, it is possible to obtain new approximations by this method.
