Rearranging that sum so that each numerator is greater that the one before, I get


The numerator in the expression above is the sum of terms of an arithmetic sequence with common difference ,
first term , and last term .
The sum of a number of terms of an arithmetic sequence is
the average of first and last terms
times the number of terms.
In this case, the sum is
,
so we can re-write the equation as
, which simplifies to

Solving for a positive integer ,
--->--->--->--->---> .
If did not need to be positive, would also be a solution.
