Do the ratios of successive primes converge to a value less than 1? I think it's a pretty straightforward question.
Does $\lim_{n \to \infty}{\frac{p_n}{p_{n+1}}} < 1?$ 
***$p_n$ denotes the nth prime.
Since the average gap increases between successive primes by the prime number theorem, wouldn't this be the case?
Thanks in advance!
 A: By the prime number theorem,
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac {p_n} {n \log n} = 1$$
Replacing $n$ by $n+1$,
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac {p_{n+1}} {(n+1) \log (n+1)} = 1$$
Using limit arithmetic,
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac {p_n} {p_{n+1}} \frac {(n+1)\log(n+1)}{n \log n} = 1$$
However, it is elementary that
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac {(n+1)\log(n+1)}{n \log n} = 1$$
and we conclude (again using limit arithmetic - dividing the last two results):
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac {p_n}{p_{n+1}} = 1$$
A: Edit: As pointed out in a comment, the previous version of this answer fell a little short of what it could have said.
As noted in The prime number theorem and the nth prime, if we write $p_n$ for the $n$th prime number, then $p_n \sim n \ln n.$
That is, $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{p_n}{n \ln n} = 1.$
But
$$ \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac {n \ln n}{(n + 1) \ln (n + 1)} = 1.$$
So we have
$$ \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac {p_n}{p_{n+1}} =
\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left(
\frac {p_n}{n \ln n} \cdot \frac{n \ln n}{(n + 1) \ln (n + 1)}
\cdot \frac{(n + 1) \ln (n + 1)}{p_{n+1}} \right)
= 1.$$
At http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PrimeGaps.html you can find more about what is known
about the differences between successive primes.
For example, if $g(N)$ is defined as the least upper bound of the difference between
any two consecutive primes $p_n$ and $p_{n+1}$ where  $p_{n+1} < N,$
then it is conjectured that $g(N) \sim (\ln N)^2.$
