Limit problem

Calculus Level 5

lim n 1 a + 2 a + 3 a + + n a ( n + 1 ) a 1 [ ( n a + 1 ) + ( n a + 2 ) + + ( n a + n ) ] \large \lim_{n\to\infty} \dfrac{1^a + 2^a + 3^a + \cdots + n^a}{(n+1)^{a-1} \left [(na+1) + (na + 2) + \cdots + (na+n) \right ]}

Find the sum of all constant values of a a such that the limit above is equal to 1 60 \dfrac1{60} .
