The sequence aₙ = 1/n on a number line

An example figure from the Number Line Generator.

A number line from 0 to 1 by tenths with the first five terms of 1/n drawn as dots at 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 — A number line from 0 to 1, marked every tenth, with the first five terms of the sequence aₙ = 1/n drawn as dots: 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5. The terms bunch up as they near 0, which shows the sequence converging. Terms that don’t sit on a numbered tick have their value written above them.
