Σ_(i=1) ^(2012) ((2013)/(Σ_(j=1) ^i j)) = 2013Σ_(i=1) ^(2012) (1/(i(i+1)/2)) =2013Σ_(i=1) ^(2012) (2/(i(i+1)))=2013×2Σ_(i=1) ^(2012) ((1/i)−(1/(i+1))) =4026[(1/1)−(1/2)+(1/2)−(1/3)+.....−(1/(2012))+(1/(2012))−(1/(2013))] =4026[1−(1/(2013))]=((4026×2012)/(2013))=2×2012

great technique! please check the last step, should it not be 2×2012?
