$$\lim_{n\to\infty}{ \frac {n^2}{1+2+…+n}}$$
Here, if we divide and multiply by $n^2$, the numerator becomes $1$ and the limit of the denominator becomes $0$ then, the entire limit becomes infinite. But if I actually do the summation of the numbers in the denominator and then divide by $n^2$ I get a finite answer $2$… I can’t understand why this happens?
You say that $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{1/n^2+2/n^2+\cdots+1/n}=\infty, $$ since the denominator goes to zero, which is not true because the number of terms involved in the sum of the denominator changes within the value of $n$, so its not correct. A direct approach using $1+2+\cdots+n=n(n+1)/2$ gives us that $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{n^2}{1+2+\cdots+n}=\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{2n^2}{n^2+n}=2.$$
