If $p_n$ is the nth prime number does $\frac{p_{n+1}}{p_n}$ approach any particular number when $n$ is large? What about $\frac{p_n}{p_{n+1}}$? Is it possible to prove that the limits converge or diverge with elementary methods?

3$p_n \sim n\ln n$ by PNT, hence $1$ for both questions. – Paolo Leonetti Nov 30 '16 at 14:44

Although I don't know if the prime number theorem falls under "elementary methods". – David Nov 30 '16 at 14:49
