SUMMARY
The limit of the greatest integer function as \( n \) approaches infinity is established as \( \lim_{n\to\infty }\frac{1}{n}\left[\frac{n}{3}\right]=\frac{1}{3} \). The discussion highlights the need for a formal proof of this limit. Participants recommend using the Squeeze Theorem as a method for proving this limit rigorously.
