We know that $$\sum_{k≥2} \frac{1}{k \log(k)} $$ diverges. How many terms must be taken before the partial sum exceed 10?

I have know idea which theorem or what kind of a way I should take this. Any hints?

    this does not make sense. if you meant what you wrote then the $k$s could cancel. can you check?2017-02-23

    I have edited the formula for the sum. Is my edit correct?2017-02-23

    Have you an idea what function is asymptotically equal to $$\sum_{2 \leqslant k \leqslant x} \frac{1}{k\log k}\,?$$2017-02-23

    Since $\int_{e}^{M}\frac{dx}{x\log x}=\log\log M$, we need about $\exp(\exp 10)$ (i.e. a colossal number) terms before the partial sums exceed $10$.2017-02-23

    I found $e^{e^{10}}-1$2017-02-23
