On the denominators of harmonic numbers

preprint2017arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let HnH_n be the nn-th harmonic number and let vnv_n be its denominator. It is well known that vnv_n is even for every integer n≥2n\ge 2. In this paper, we study the properties of vnv_n. One of our results is: the set of positive integers nn such that vnv_n is divisible by the least common multiple of 1,2,⋯ ,⌊n1/4⌋1, 2, \cdots, \lfloor {n^{1/4}}\rfloor has density one. In particular, for any positive integer mm, the set of positive integers nn such that vnv_n is divisible by mm has density one.
