Hmm... I wanted this problem to be about deriving the growth rate of Bernoulli. Try to find a solution using Riemann zeta function

I added a solution using Riemann zeta function. You can check it now
Nice Refaat... (+1), but don't forget the absolute value of Bernouilli number,haha

I edited it thanks :)

haha,you make me to laugh.... could you edite the first solution from third line,please? I mean delete ( − 1 ) n − 1 . The idea of your first proof is perfect, I did it like this, but if I were you I would delete ( − 1 ) n − 1 after third line... and be careful in your second proof... What is L 1 ? Again, the same... and a suggestion: n → ∞ lim ζ ( n ) = 1 you only have to apply the defintion of Riemmann- zeta function

We will use the approximate value of Bernoulli number and Stirling approximation to solve the problem.
Bernoulli approximate is B 2 n ≈ ( − 1 ) n − 1 4 π n ( π e n ) 2 n
Stirling approximation is n ! ≈ 2 n π ( e n ) n
L = n → ∞ lim [ ∣ B 2 n ∣ ( 2 n ) ! ] 2 n 1 = n → ∞ lim [ 4 n π ( π e n ) 2 n 2 n π ( e 2 n ) 2 n ] 2 n 1 \ = n → ∞ lim [ 2 ( 2 π ) 2 n ] 2 n 1 = 2 π . n → ∞ lim [ 2 1 ] 2 n 1 = 2 π ≈ 6 . 2 8 3 1 8 5
Edit
Another solution using the relation between zeta function and Bernoulli numbers B 2 n = ( 2 π ) 2 n 2 ( − 1 ) n − 1 ( 2 n ) ! ζ ( 2 n ) So the limit will be L=\underbrace{\lim \limits_{_{n\to +\infty }}\left[ \frac{\left( 2\pi \right) ^{2n}}{2} \right] } \limits_{L_{1}}\times \underbrace{\lim \limits_{n\to +\infty }\left[ \zeta \left( 2n\right) \right] ^{\frac{1}{2n} }} \limits_{L_{2}} From the first part we see that L 1 = 2 π . Now we will prove that L 2 = 1
The proof
[ ( 1 ) 2 n 1 ≤ ( ζ ( 2 n ) ) 2 n 1 ≤ [ 1 + 2 n − 1 1 ] 2 n 1 ] n → ∞ = 1 Q.E.D
