For 0xπ2, we have
2πxsin(x)x
Therefore use 2πxsin(x),x=1n, and get after multiplication 2π1nsin(1n).

A variant is to use limu0sinuu=1 and in particular this term is >12 for |u|1 small enough.
Now write 1nsin(1n)=1n×sin(1n)1n>1n×12 for n large enough.
And still conclude by comparison with 1n
Note: a faster way is to use equivalents, the limit 1 means 1nsin(1n)1n
