    Written a bit more explicitly (although I kinda handwaved away the final term–the point is that you end up with one unpaired term which goes to zero)

    edit: I was honestly confused about how exactly this related to the question, but seeing the comment from @yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de (not visible from Hexbear) which showed that the first sum in the image is equivalent to

    the sum from n = 1 to ∞ of 2/(n * (n + 1))

    made things clear (just take the above, put 2 in the numerator, and you get a result of 2)
