The summand is positive, so it suffices to show that its partial sums are unbounded. On the block , for ,
There are terms in that block, so its sum is at least . Adding blocks gives a constant multiple of the divergent harmonic series. Hence
Equivalently the integral test for convergence gives . The block proof supplies the divergence without assuming the integral test.
