In level , each group isand there are such groups. The partial sums at completed groups are therefore zero. Inside a group of level , the only other partial sums are and . Every level contains finitely many terms, so the level containing the th term tends to infinity with . Thus all partial sums lie between zero and a bound tending to zero. By the squeeze theorem, the series has sum .
