Aglebraic structure of a set of Egyptian fractions of a positive rational?

Aglebraic structure of a set of Egyptian fractions of a positive rational?

It is said that every positive rational number can be represented by
infinitely many Egyptian fractions (defined as the sum of distinct unit
fractions).
I am struggling to understand in a formal way, what algebraic structure
such a set of Egyptian fractions of a positive rational is, and of what
algebraic properties?
Thanks in advance and references are also welcome
