Denote the sum of the numbers in the first bracket for S₂ ; and in the second bracket for S₃

[tex]\displaystyle \large \boldsymbol {} \rm S_2=\frac{2}{1-\dfrac{1}{2} } =\frac{2}{\dfrac{1}{2} } =4 \\\\\\\ S_3=\frac{\dfrac{1}{3} }{1-\dfrac{1}{3} } = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{3}{\dfrac{2}{3} } } =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
