The staff of Numberphile has shown that the sum of all the integers from 0 to ∞ is −112. Recently I was looking for the sum of all the (positive) integers from 0 to n and I found that:
n∑i=0i=n(n+1)2
So I decided to take the limit:
lim
but that tends towards \infty when I expected that to be -\frac1{12}!
Where did I got wrong? (the result is also confirmed by Wolfram Alpha)

I use Euclidean Algorithm: 4620 = 101 * 45 + 75. long story short. I get 3 = 2 * 1 + 1. After that 2 = 1 * 2 + 0. gcd(101,4620) = 1. So I us...
