An analog of Wolstenholme's theorem: an addendum

Let p > 2 be a prime number and let a, b, m be positive integers such that p(sic)m. In a recent paper [1], we discussed the maximal prime power p(e), which divides the numerator of the fraction 1/m + 1/m+p(b )+ 1/m+ 2p(b )+<middle dot><middle dot><middle dot> + 1/m+ (p(a)-1)p(b), when written in reduced form. This short note may be regarded as an addendum to paper [1] for the case where p = 2, b = 1,m > 1 and 2(a)parallel to m - 1, which was left open.
