Which value of $n$ do we need to take so that the displayed value of $e$, i.e., to 5 decimal places, be the correct (theoretical) one?
The function $(1+1/x)^x$ is increasing for $x$ positive, since its derivative has the sign of $\ln((x+1)/x)-1/(x+1)$ which is always positive since $(x+1)/x>1$ and $1>1/e^{x+1}$. The answer is then 743325 since:
\begin{align} \left(1+{1\over743\,324}\right)^{743\,324}&=2.718279999997650016053842\\ \left(1+{1\over743\,325}\right)^{743\,325}&=2.718280000000109854133239 \end{align}
as obtained by Mathematica to 25 decimal places. You would get different results down to machine precision, for instance, on wulfrun2:

which not only is non-monotonic, i.e., it gets closer and farther away from the solution, or more accurately, increases and decreases (unlike what the derivative of $(1+1/x)^x$ tells you), but it also displays highly non-mathematical jumps:
The exact solution, from Mathematica (in blue) is also much more accurate than the machine one (with Julia, in orange).
