This is called the Harmonic Series and has been the topic of many studies.

It comes down to a question of Divergence or Convergence.
You will get a finite sum of a series only if the series converges.
It has been proven that the Harmonic Series actually diverges.

Here are two Youtubes that show how this was done.
