Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Decimal expansion of Kempner series Sum_{k >= 1, k has no digit 8 in base 10} 1/k.
%C Numbers with a digit 8 (A011538) have asymptotic density 1, i.e., here almost all terms are removed from the harmonic series, which makes convergence less surprising. See A082839 (the analog for digit 0) for more information about such so-called Kempner series. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 13 2020
