Just starting to study analysis, proving that 1 is the least upper bound of the rational numbers such that 1-1/n where n is a natural number.
Assume that 1 is not the least upper bound. Then there is some c such that 1<=(1-1/n)<1+c.
Subtract 1 from all sides:
0<=(-1/n)<c which cannot be as -1/n is negative and can't be greater than zero. Is this right?
