So meaning that is true for
Could it be true for all positive integer values.
If it were true for , we would know that .
Then

,
and since and ,
we conclude that .
Since is true for ,
and being true for makes it true for ,
then is true for all values of .
The integer part of for any is ,
and so the integer part of is .
It is true that gets ever closer to , but it can never get there.
