A harmonic progression is a sequence of quantities whose reciprocals are in arithmetic progression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"h%5B1%5D+=+2%2F39\" and \"h%5B2%5D+=+2%2F37\", it follows that \"a%5B1%5D+=+39%2F2\" and \"a%5B2%5D+=+37%2F2\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===> \"d+=+37%2F2+-+39%2F2+=+-2%2F2+=+-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===> \"a%5B20%5D+=+a%5B1%5D+%2B+%2820-1%29%2A-1+=+39%2F2+%2B+19%2A-1+=+1%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the twentieth term of the harmonic progression is \"h%5B20%5D+=+2\".
