    The geometric series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty 2^{-k}$ sums to one

    C-WR7YV

    Repeated halving from $1/2$ onward sums exactly to $1$.Suggest a slogan

    \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2^k} = 1. \]

    The partial sums are \(\sum_{k=1}^N 2^{-k} = 1-2^{-N}\), which converge to \(1\) as \(N\to\infty\).
