I have only a lay person's understanding of p-adic numbers, where a fraction may have an 'infinitely large' p-adic number representation. That got me thinking about $\zeta(-1)$= -1/12 being equal to the sum of the natural numbers. Is there a way to understand the sum of the natural numbers converging to -1/12 in the p-adic sense?
