Choose a closed interval containing the bounded sequence. Bisect it and retain a half containing infinitely many terms; repeat. The resulting intervals are nested and their lengths tend to zero. By the nested interval theorem they have one common point , and choosing successively indexed terms from these intervals produces a subsequence converging to . This proves the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem.
