Series converges implies $\lim{n a_n} = 0$
Someone can help me? If $(a_n)$ is a decreasing sequence and $\sum a_n$ converges. Then $\lim {(n.a_n)} = 0$.
I don't have idea how to solve this.

By the Cauchy condensation test
$$\sum 2^m a_{2^m} < \infty$$
thus
$$\lim_n 2^m a_{2^m} =0$$
Now, for each $n$ chose some $m$ so that $2^m \leq n < 2^{m+1}$ and use
$$a_{2^m} \geq a_n \geq a_{2^{m+1}}$$
