1+2+3+4+5+.........infinity = -1/12 prove this

Anonymous: brilliant question!

AlokPrabhakar: i know its brilliant question but how to do that???

Anonymous: nop! hehe.....sry

Anonymous: I know it but am not getting-1/12

FlameFires: Think is, one we enter a topic with infinity, many illogical things can happen,majorly because infinity is a set of large immeasurable numbers rather than a single entity that we are accustomed to believe. Logically speaking, the answer to this should be infinity. You could ask, how is the sum of infinite numbers be infinity. It's because both are two different orders of infinity,which is why while dealing with infinity, the equal to sign changes its base meaning..

FlameFires: However, there exists a function called euler zeta function which has an extension to solve this questions which but has pages of proofs and still not widely accepted..

sum of any infinite series is possible finite when they are in geometric progression in which common ratio is -1 to 1
but here you see this series not in geometric progression.( this is increasing Arithmetic series )
so, this is not possible
1+2+3+4+....infinity isn't equal to -1/12

AlokPrabhakar: yes it is equal to infinity......i got the answer on youtube
