Harmonic Series Test

Equation
$$\sum_{n = 1}^{oo} \frac{1}{n}$$

Use
Any harmonic series is always divergent.If a coefficient is present, pull it out to the front of the summation to show a straight harmonic (and therefore divergent) series.

Explanation
A harmonic series is basically a P-Series with an exponent or $$r$$ value of 1. The harmonic series will always diverge.
