Abstract: For the positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(n_1,n_2,n_3)$ of the Diophantine equation ${\displaystyle }$ {4over n}={1over n_1}+{1over n_2}+{1over n_3}. ${\displaystyle }$ For the prime number $p$, $f(p)$ can be split into $f_1(p)+f_2(p),$ where $f_i(p)(i=1,2)$ counts those solutions with exactly $i$ of denominators $n_1,n_2,n_3$ divisible by $p.$ Recently Terence Tao proved that ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{p< x}f_1(p)ll xexp({clog xover loglog x}) ${\displaystyle }$ with other results. In this paper we shall improve it to ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{p< x}f_1(p)ll xlog^5xloglog^2x. ${\displaystyle }$
