    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 n2n\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,,n1/41, 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.Comment: 6 page
