$a_n $- sequence of all natural numbers which in notation doesn't use the digit 6

$\sum \frac{1}{a_n}$

I have already tried to compare $\sum(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{26}+...)\ge\sum \frac{1}{10n}\to \infty$ So this gives me nothing.

  • $\begingroup$ @DanielFischer Oh, you mean less and less. But whats about proof? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Quantify and get an upper bound for the sum of reciprocals of $k$-digit numbers without any $6$. Sum over $k$. $\endgroup$ Jan 21, 2017 at 22:43

  • $\begingroup$ Just apply Cauchy's condensation test. How many "$6$-less" numbers are there in the interval $[10^k+1,10^{k+1}]$? $\endgroup$ Jan 21, 2017 at 23:12
