Limit Calculator

Calculate limits step by step

This free calculator will try to find the limit (two-sided or one-sided, including left and right) of the given function at the given point (including infinity), with steps shown.

Different techniques are used to handle limits (including indeterminate forms): limit laws, rewriting and simplifying, L'Hôpital's rule, rationalizing the denominator, taking natural logarithm, etc.

Enter a function:

Choose a variable:

Find the limit at:

If you need `oo`, type inf.

Choose a direction:

Solution

Your input: find $$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x}$$$

The limit of a quotient is the quotient of limits:

$${\color{red}{\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x}}} = {\color{red}{\frac{\lim_{x \to \infty} 1}{\lim_{x \to \infty} x}}}$$

The limit of a constant is equal to the constant:

$$\frac{{\color{red}{\lim_{x \to \infty} 1}}}{\lim_{x \to \infty} x} = \frac{{\color{red}{1}}}{\lim_{x \to \infty} x}$$

Constant divided by a very big number equals $$$0$$$:

$${\color{red}{1 \frac{1}{\lim_{x \to \infty} x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(0\right)}}$$

Therefore,

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x} = 0$$

Answer: $$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x}=0$$$
