Let A ={1-1/n | n is a natural number} Prove that 0 is a lower bound and 1 is an upper bound:  Start by taking x in A.  Then x = 1-1/n for some natural number n.  Starting from the fact that 0 < 1/n < 1 do some algebra and arithmetic to get to 0 < 1-1/n <1. Prove that lub(A) = 1:  Suppose that r is another upper bound.  Then wts that r<= 1.  Suppose not.  Then r<1.  So 1-r>0....
