Do Harmonic Series Converge?

Do Harmonic Series Converge?

No the series does not converge. The given problem is the harmonic series, which diverges to infinity.

Does series converge or diverge?

If you've got a series that's smaller than a convergent benchmark series, then your series must also converge. If the benchmark converges, your series converges; and if the benchmark diverges, your series diverges. And if your series is larger than a divergent benchmark series, then your series must also diverge.

Who proved harmonic series diverges?

The series diverges—a fact first demonstrated by Nicole'd Oresme [1, ca. 1323-1382]. There are a number of proofs that the harmonic series diverges, some of them well-known and elementary.
