Question referring to $\sup(D)$ and $\inf(D)$, for set $D$.

32 Views Asked by At

Consider set $D$:

$$D = \left\{m + \frac1n\,\middle|\,m,n\in\mathbb{N}\right\}$$

So, the supremum of this set does not exist because this set is NOT bounded above. I'm confused about the infimum in this case. The set is bounded below but I'm confused about what the greatest lower bound is.

Hint: Every element of $D$ is greater than $1$ but, if $a>1$ there is always an element $d\in D$ such that $d<a$.
