Thnx....But I would love to know the method you used too..
Let us use the notation H n = 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 + . . . + n 1 . The number H n is called the n t h - harmonic number. Then n + 1 1 + n + 2 1 + . . . + n + 5 n 1 = H 6 n − H n = H 6 n − ln 6 n − H n + ln n + ln 6 n − ln n = ( H 6 n − ln 6 n ) − ( H n − ln n ) + ln 6
Now using that lim n → ∞ ( H n − ln n ) = γ , where γ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant, we obtain that lim n → ∞ ( H 6 n − H n ) = ln 6 . So that, the answer, 1 + 6 = 7 .

= n → ∞ lim r = 1 ∑ 5 n n + r 1
= n → ∞ lim n 1 r = 1 ∑ 5 n 1 + n r 1
= ∫ 0 5 1 + x 1 d x = ln 6 − ln 1 = l n 6
S o , a + b = 6 + 1 = 7
