prove that $a_n$ is convergent if $\limsup a_n \cdot \limsup \frac1{a_n} = 1$

$a_n$ is a positive series, and I know that $\limsup a_n \cdot \limsup \frac1{a_n} = 1$.

Prove that $a_n$ is convergent.

What do I need to do?

Can you show that $$\limsup\frac1{a_n}=\frac1{\liminf a_n},$$ (for any sequence $(a_n)$ such that $a_n>0$)?

Once you prove this, the equality you are given simply says that $\limsup a_n=\liminf a_n$.

You can find this also in the book Wieslawa J. Kaczor, Maria T. Nowak: Problems in mathematical analysis: Volume 1; Real Numbers, Sequences and Series as Problems 2.4.22 and 2.4.23. The problems are given on p.45 and solved on p.203-204.
