\(S=\frac{1}{4^1}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{4^{2017}}\)
\(4S=1+\frac{1}{4}+...+\frac{1}{4^{2016}}\)
\(4S-S=\left(1+\frac{1}{4^1}+...+\frac{1}{4^{2016}}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{4^1}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{4^{2017}}\right)\)
\(3S=1-\frac{1}{4^{2017}}< 1\)
\(\Rightarrow S< \frac{1}{3}\left(đpcm\right)\)
