Abstract: Let $H_n$ be the $n$-th harmonic number and let $v_n$ be its denominator. It is well known that $v_n$ is even for every integer $nge2$. In this paper, we study the properties of $v_n$. One of our results is: the set of positive integers $n$ such that $v_n$ is divisible by the least common multiple of $1,2,cdots,lfloor{n}^{1/4}floor$ has density one. In particular, for any positive integer $m$, the set of positive integers $n$ such that $v_n$ is divisible by $m$ has density one.
