For n> 0, let Σ n k= 1 1 k= a (n) b (n) where a (n) and b (n) are relatively prime positive integers. For a prime p, let J (p)={n⩾ 0| p divides a (n)} where a (0)= 0 by definition. It is conjectured that J (p) is finite for all p. Here, the conjecture is proved for p⩽ 7, but remains unproved for p= 11. The largest integer belonging to J (7) is n= 102728. It is shown that for p> 2, J (p)⊃{0, p− 1, p (p− 1), p 2− 1}. When J (p)={0, p− 1, p (p− 1), p 2− 1}, the p rime p is called harmonic. Many small primes are harmonic. It is conjectured that the set of harmonic primes is infinite.
