Abstract: We prove that any positive rational number is the sum of distinct unit fractions with denominators in $p-1:pextrmprime$. The same conclusion holds for the set $p-h:pextrmprime$ for any $$, provided a necessary congruence condition is satisfied. We also prove that this is true for any subset of the primes of relative positive density, provided a necessary congruence condition is satisfied.
