These values are clearly increasing as $m$ increases. Cauchy showed the value was bounded between $2$ and $3$ and had the approximate value above. Then he showed the restriction to integers was not necessary. Later we will use this definition for the exponential function:

This is clearly related to the function $f(x) = \sin(x)/x$, which has a limit of $1$ as $x \rightarrow 0$. We see $g(x) = k f(kx)$ is the limit in question. As $kx \rightarrow 0$, though not taking a value of $0$ except when $x=0$, the limit above is $k \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(kx) = k \lim_{u \rightarrow 0} f(u) = k$.

Basically when taking a limit as $x$ goes to $0$ we can multiply $x$ by any constant and figure out the limit for that. (It is as though we "go to" $0$ faster or slower. but are still going to $0$.
