We give q-analogues of the following congruences by Z.-W. Sun: \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{D_k}{k} \equiv -\frac{2^{p-1}-1}{p} \pmod p,\\ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k 2^k}\equiv 0 \pmod{p},\quad p\geqslant 5, where p is a prime,…

Let $E_n$ be the $n$-th Euler number and $(a)_n=a(a+1)\cdots (a+n-1)$ the rising factorial. Let $p>3$ be a prime. In 2012, Sun proved the that $$ \sum^{(p-1)/2}_{k=0}(-1)^k(4k+1)\frac{(\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3} \equiv…

With help of $q$-congruence, we prove the divisibility of some binomial sums. For example, for any integers $\rho,n\geq 2$, $$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(4k+1) \binom{2k}{k}^\rho \cdot (-4)^{\rho(n-1-k)} \equiv 0\pmod{2^{\rho-2}n\binom{2n}{n}}.$$
