Calculate the sum of the reciprocals: 20111+20121+20131+20141+20151
step 2
Find the reciprocal of the sum to get the middle expression of the inequality: (20111+20121+20131+20141+20151)1
step 3
Solve the inequality a < \frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{2011} + \frac{1}{2012} + \frac{1}{2013} + \frac{1}{2014} + \frac{1}{2015}\right)} < a + 1 for a
step 4
The solution to the inequality is given by the interval \frac{16485733536834043}{41050153620137} < a < \frac{16526783690454180}{41050153620137}
step 5
Determine the natural number a that satisfies the inequality
Answer
a=402
Key Concept
Solving inequalities involving fractions and natural numbers
Explanation
The natural number a is the integer part of the lower bound of the solution interval for the inequality, which is the greatest integer less than the upper bound of the interval.
