 | | The situation is directly analogous for a geometric sequence, whereby the second of any three numbers in a row must be the geometric mean of the first and third. |
 | | Returning to the forward direction, we see that if at any point in the generation of a harmonic sequence, the last number is double the second-to-last number, we will get a zero denominator if we try to find the next number in the sequence. |
 | | All sequence numbers from this point onwards will be negative, and since the magnitude of the denominator will get larger and larger (in the negative direction) at each step, the magnitudes of the sequence numbers will get smaller and smaller, approaching 0 (from the negative direction). |
