For , the sequence is convergent and its terms are integers. Then there exist so that . Consequently, . In particular, . It follows that the sequence is bounded.
Suppose, by contradiction, that the sequence has two limit points and , with . Then there exist two subsequences and of such that and . Let . From , , we get . It follows . Taking the limit for gives . Therefore . On the other hand, implies , in contradiction with the previous inequality.
This shows that the sequence is convergent.
