From famous Ramanujana Series , we have: 1 + 2 1 + 3 1 + 4 1 + 5 = 3 \large \sqrt { 1+2\color{#007fff}{\sqrt { 1+3\sqrt { 1+4\sqrt { 1+5\sqrt{\cdots} } } }} } =3 2 1 + 3 1 + 4 1 + 5 = 9 1 \large 2\color{#007fff}{\sqrt { 1+3\sqrt { 1+4\sqrt { 1+5\sqrt{\cdots} } }}} =9-1 1 + 3 1 + 4 1 + 5 = 4 \Rightarrow \color{#007fff}{\sqrt { 1+3\sqrt { 1+4\sqrt { 1+5\sqrt{\cdots} } }}} =\huge\boxed{4}

what is ramanujan series?
