we know:  π^2 <10  1+(1/2^2 )+(1/3^2 )+...+(1/(2021^2 ))+(1/(2022^2 ))+...=(π^2 /6)  therefore:  (1/2^2 )+(1/3^2 )+...+(1/(2021^2 ))=(π^2 /6)−1−((1/(2022^2 ))+...)                                        <(π^2 /6)−1=((6π^2 −36)/(36))                                        <((60−36)/(36))                                        <((61−36)/(36))=((25)/(36))
