The aim of the review is to compare the method of K harmonics (hyperspherical harmonics) and the translationally invariant shell model. Only nuclei with A>4 will be considered. For them, as will be seen, many results of the method of K harmonics are very similar to the corresponding results of shell calculations. This similarity is due to the fact that the wave functions of the method of K harmonics and the translationally invariant shell model have much in common. The structure of the wave functions of the two methods is considered, their connection with one another is analyzed, and then the results of calculations of various nuclear properties obtained by these methods are compared.
