In 1862, Wolstenholme proved that the numerator of the [Formula: see text]th harmonic number is divisible by [Formula: see text] for any prime [Formula: see text]. A variation of this theorem was shown by Alkan and Leudesdorf. Motivated by these results, we prove a congruence modulo some odd primes for some generalized harmonic type sums.
We show that there exist infinitely many hyperharmonic integers, and this refutes a conjecture of Mező. In particular, for r = 64•(2 α −1)+32, the hyperharmonic number h (r ) 33 is integer for 153 different values of α (mod 748 440), where the smallest r is equal to 64 • (2 2659 − 1) + 32.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
