Rationalize the numerator of the summand:
For every we have , and therefore
The harmonic series diverges, so the comparison test for series makes the given positive-term series diverge as well:
For completeness, divergence of the harmonic series follows by grouping the terms with : each such block contributes at least . The same rationalization also shows that times the summand tends to . The summands tend to zero, but their harmonic-size tail prevents convergence.
