Since H n ln n γ H_n - \ln n \to \gamma , the Euler-Mascheroni constant, as n n \to \infty , we deduce that H n ln n 1 \frac{H_n}{\ln n} \to 1 as n n \to \infty . But then H n 7 7 ln n = H n 7 ln n 7 1 \frac{H_{n^7}}{7\ln n} = \frac{H_{n^7}}{\ln n^7} \to 1 as n n \to \infty , and so lim n ( ln n ) 1 H n 7 = 7 \lim_{n \to \infty}(\ln n)^{-1}H_{n^7} \; = \; \boxed{7}

We may use Stolz Cesaro theorem

In general for any k 1 k\geq 1 we can deduce that lim n 1 ln n ( 1 + 1 2 + 1 2 + + 1 n k ) = k \lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{\ln n}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\cdots +\frac{1}{n^k}\right)=k and hence for k = 7 k=7 we have required answer as 7 7 .
