To solve the problem, we need to find the least value of \( n \) such that the difference between the sum to infinity \( S \) and the sum of the first \( n \) terms \( S_n \) of the series \( 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + \ldots \) is less than \( \frac{1}{1000} \). ### Step 1: Identify the series and its parameters The series given is a geometric series where: - The first term \( a = 1 \) - The common ratio \( r = \frac{1}{2} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the sum to infinity \( S \) ...
