Inductive Step For a Summation mathematical induction

I have a bit of trouble with how I should go about showing the inductive step for my induction problem. I know the general idea is to show that it can work for all numbers based on the base case but I'm still stuck on how to show it.



$\sum_{i=2}^n \frac{1}{i} \leq \frac{n}{2}$ for n $\geq$ 2



I know we have to plug in k+1 instead of n and show that it is also equal to k by using algebra. I'm just stuck on how to show it. I guess the i is the part that confusing me.
