Do factorials really grow faster than exponential functions? Having trouble understanding this. Is there anyway to prove it?

To explain it more precisely, $n!$ grows very fast when compared to a power $n$. Because the greater number is multiplied with the product each time: $$(n+1)!=1 \cdot 2 \cdots n \cdot (n+1).$$ But in case of exponential function, $$a^{n+1} = a \cdot a \cdots a,$$ the term $a$ remains constant.
