I don't know some command to solve this equation directly, well solve and
linsolve don't work to this kind equations. However you can try some as:
(%i1) for i:0.01 step 0.01 thru 5 do(print(is(float(gamma((i+1)/i))
float(73/83))));
or
(%i1) for i:0.01 step 0.01 thru 5 do(print(float(gamma((i+1)/i))
float(73/83)));
Is a way to aproximmate the answer numerically.
