It will converge if the common factor  r  is between 0 and 1.
For example:-
 A GS with  first term a1 = 2  and d = 1/2,   the  terms are:-

2 , 1 , 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,1/16 and so on

Each term gets smaller and smaller and they will become very small - close to 0.   The sum will converge to a certain value also.
In this case it will converge to  2 /( 1 - 1/2) = 4

If d > 1  the terms will increase without bounds and the sum gets bigger and bigger . The series  diverges.

for example  2, 8, 32, 128, 512 ....  where a1 = 2 and d = 4.
