\"1%2B1%2F3%2B4%2F9%2B8%2F9%2B%22...%22\" is not exactly a geometric series
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2B2%2F3%2B4%2F9%2B8%2F9%2B16%2F27%2B32%2F81%2B%22...%22\" is a geometric series
\n" ); document.write( "with first term \"b=1\" and common ratio \"r=2%2F3\" .
\n" ); document.write( "For any geometric series with \"r%3C1\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "the sum to infinity can be calculated as
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=b%2F%281-r%29\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so \"1%2B2%2F3%2B4%2F9%2B8%2F9%2B%22...%22=1%2F%281-2%2F3%29=1%2F%281%2F3%29=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If what you really want to calculate is
\n" ); document.write( " ,
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2B1%2F3%2B4%2F9%2B8%2F9%2B16%2F27%2B32%2F81%2B%22...%22=%28-1%2F3%29%2B3=2%262%2F3=8%2F3\" .\r
