Problem 541
Divisibility of Harmonic Number Denominators
The nthharmonic number Hn is defined as the sum of the multiplicative inverses of the first n positive integers, and can be written as a reduced fraction an/bn.
Let M(p) be the largest value of n such that bn is not divisible by p.
For example, M(3) = 68 because
b68=2933773379069966367528193600 is not divisible by 3, but all larger harmonic numbers have denominators divisible by 3.
You are given M(7) = 719102.
Find M(137).
和谐数分母的整除性
第n个和谐数Hn被定义为前n个正整数的倒数和,可以写成最简分数an/bn的形式。
令M(p)为使得bn不能被p整除的最大的n。
例如,M(3) = 68,因为
已知M(7) = 719102。
求M(137)。
