Convergence of series given a monotonic sequence Let $(x_n)_{n \in \Bbb N}$ be a decreasing sequence such that its series converges, want to show that $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} n x_n = 0$.
Ok I don't even know where to start.
I need a direction please! 
Thankyou!

Just another approach. Since $\{x_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ id decreasing and its associated series converges, we have $x_n\geq 0$ for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ (otherwise, $\lim_{n\to +\infty}x_n < 0$ and the series cannot converge).
Assume now the existence of a positive real number $\alpha$ such that
$$ n\, x_n \geq \alpha $$
for an infinite number of positive natural numbers $n$; let $A=\{n_1,n_2,\ldots\}$ be the set of such natural numbers. Let now $a_0=0,a_1=n_1$, $a_2$ be the minimum element of $A$ greater than $2a_1$, $a_3$ be the minimum element of $A$ greater than $2a_2$ and so on. We have:
$$\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}x_n \geq \sum_{k=1}^{+\infty}(a_k-a_{k-1})x_{a_k} \geq\sum_{k=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\alpha}{2}=+\infty,$$
that is clearly a contradiction, so
$$\lim_{n\in\mathbb{N}} (n\,x_n) = 0$$
must hold.
