Thank you Sir.May I make set of all this totient problems including your problems ? @Otto Bretscher
Sir is it always necessary to take any aq.free no ?

The method works for all positive integers... just compute f ( p k )
Can this function exist ? @Otto Bretscher
O ( 1 ) = 1 i f O ( n ) = n i s a p e r f e c t s q . o t h e r t h a n 1 , o t h e r w i s e ( − 1 ) q + p ⎭ ⎬ ⎫ = O ( n )
also , if p= any prime number , then O(p)=p
Where p and q are largest an smallest prime factors of n respectively

What would be O ( 2 4 ) ?

@A Former Brilliant Member – Why not 0? What's with the p 3 ∣ n rule? The function does not seem to be well-defined.

@Otto Bretscher – P should be a perfect cube , such that , 2.2.2 =8 = O(8)=0 but 3.3.3.2 wont be equal to 0 as it is not a perfect cube. Now is it a valid function ? @Otto Bretscher I know it wont be a multiplicative function , right ?

@A Former Brilliant Member – You have to change the definition then. Do you want to say p 3 = n in case 2? In case 3 you would have to say "otherwise". (No, it's certainly not multiplicative)

@Otto Bretscher – I am working on the case of n=any prime number , what can be for prime numbers ? @Otto Bretscher
how is it now ? how can we prove the existence of this function ? @Otto Bretscher
How can the existence of this function be proved ? @Otto Bretscher ?

In the second case I would say " O ( n ) = 0 if n is a perfect square other than 1.

Can it have any applications ? @Otto Bretscher
Please do tell is that function well defined ? How can the existence of that function be proved ? @Otto Bretscher

Nice problem!
The functions d and ϕ ( d ) are multiplicative, and so is their quotient ϕ ( d ) d and their divisor sum f ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ n ϕ ( d ) d . Thus f ( 6 7 3 6 2 ) = f ( 3 1 ∗ 4 1 ∗ 5 3 ) = p ∏ f ( p ) = p ∏ ( ϕ ( 1 ) 1 + ϕ ( p ) p ) = p ∏ ( 1 + p − 1 p ) = 4 1 6 0 3 4 5 8 7
where the products are taken over p = 3 1 , 4 1 , 5 3 . The answer is 3 4 5 8 7 + 4 1 6 0 = 3 8 7 4 7
