COMMENTS
Primes on the left side of the triangle formed by listing successively the prime numbers in a triangular grid:
2
3 5
7 11 13
17 19 23 29
31 37 41 43 47
53 59 61 67 71 73
The sum of the reciprocals appears to converge.
As the terms grow faster than the triangular numbers and the sum of inverse numbers converges, the sum of inverses indeed converges. - Joerg Arndt, Oct 28 2015
