H₈ = 761/280 = 2.71786. To calculate the 8th harmonic number yourself, follow these instructions:
Divide 1 by the first 8 natural numbers and gather them in a sequence to get: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8.
Add every number in this sequence to get the n-th harmonic number as Hₙ = 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/7 + 1/8 = 761/280 = 2.71786.
