. We're sorry about the hassle.
Note that rad ( n ) basically means that the numbers only has 2 , 3 , and 5 as their prime factors. Thus the number is of the form 2 a ⋅ 3 b ⋅ 5 c .
We want to find the value of a = 1 ∑ ∞ b = 1 ∑ ∞ c = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 2 a ⋅ 3 b ⋅ 5 c ) 2 1 = a = 1 ∑ ∞ b = 1 ∑ ∞ c = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 2 a ⋅ 3 2 b ⋅ 5 2 c 1
However, a = 1 ∑ ∞ b = 1 ∑ ∞ c = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 2 a ⋅ 3 2 b ⋅ 5 2 c 1 = ( a = 1 ∑ ∞ 2 2 a 1 ) ( b = 1 ∑ ∞ 3 2 b 1 ) ( c = 1 ∑ ∞ 5 2 c 1 ) = ( 1 − 4 1 4 1 ) ( 1 − 9 1 9 1 ) ( 1 − 2 5 1 2 5 1 ) = 5 7 6 1
Thus our answer is 5 7 6 .
