8+2+1/2+1/8....=8%2Asum%28%281%2F4%29%5En%2Cn=0%2Cinfinity%29


8%2Asum%28%281%2F4%29%5En%2Cn=0%2Cinfinity%29=8%2B8%2A%28%281%2F4%29%2F%283%2F4%29%29%29
8%2Asum%28%281%2F4%29%5En%2Cn=0%2Cinfinity%29=8%2B8%2A%281%2F3%29
8%2Asum%28%281%2F4%29%5En%2Cn=0%2Cinfinity%29=24%2F3%2B8%2F3
8%2Asum%28%281%2F4%29%5En%2Cn=0%2Cinfinity%29=highlight%2832%2F3%29
