COMMENTS

Number of elements in a reduced residue system modulo n.

Degree of the n-th cyclotomic polynomial (cf. A013595). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 12 2002

Number of distinct generators of a cyclic group of order n. Number of primitive n-th roots of unity.(A primitive n-th root x is such that x^k is not equal to 1 for k=1, 2, ..., n-1, but x^n=1) - Lekraj Beedassy, Mar 31 2005

Also number of complex Dirichlet characters modulo n; sum(k=1,n,a(k)) is asymptotic to (3/pi^2)*n^2. - Steven Finch, Feb 16 2006

a(n) is the highest degree of irreducible polynomial dividing 1 + x + x^2 + ... + x^(n-1) = (x^n - 1)/(x - 1). - Alexander Adamchuk, Sep 02 2006, corrected Sep 27 2006

a(p) = p - 1 for prime p. a(n) is even for n>2. For n>2 a(n)/2 = A023022(n) = number of partitions of n into 2 ordered relatively prime parts. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jan 25 2007

Number of automorphisms of the cyclic group of order n. [From Benoit Jubin, Aug 09 2008]

a(n+2) equals the number of palindromic Sturmian words of length n which are 'bispecial', prefix or suffix of two Sturmian words of length n+1. [From Fred Lunnon (Fred.Lunnon(AT)may.ie), Sep 05 2010]

Suppose that a and n are coprime positive integers, then by Euler's totient theorem, any factor of n divides a^phi(n)-1. [From Lei Zhou, Feb 28 2012]

a(n) = A096396(n) + A096397(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 24 2012]

If m has k prime factors,(f1,f2...fk), then phi(m*n)= phi(f1*n)*phi(f2*n)...*phi(fk*n)/phi(n)^(k-1). For example, phi(42*n) = phi(2*n)*phi(3*n)*phi(7*n)/phi(n)^2. - Gary Detlefs, Apr 21 2012.

sum(n>=1, a(n)/n!) is a convergent series.  The sum is approximately 1.95408535787600621314459486. This sum is referenced in Plouffe's inverter. - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Feb 02 2013

FORMULA

phi(n) = n*Product_{distinct primes p dividing n} (1-1/p).

Sum_{ d divides n } phi(d) = n.

phi(n) = Sum_{ d divides n } mu(d)*n/d, i.e., the Moebius transform of the natural numbers; mu() = Moebius function A008683().

Dirichlet generating function sum_{n >= 1} phi(n)/n^s = zeta(s-1)/zeta(s). Also Sum_{n >= 1} phi(n)*x^n/(1-x^n) = x/(1-x)^2.

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (p-1)*p^(e-1). - David W. Wilson, Aug 01 2001.

Sum_{n>=1} [phi(n)*ln(1-x^n)/n] = -x/(1-x) for -1<x<1 (cf. A002088) - Henry Bottomley, Nov 16 2001

a(n)=binomial(n+1, 2) - sum{i=1, n-1, a(i)*floor(n/i)} (see A000217 for inverse) - Jon Perry, Mar 02 2004

Comment from Pieter Moree, Sep 10 2004: It is a classical result (certainly known to Landau, 1909) that lim inf n/phi(n)=1 (taking n to be primes), lim sup n/(phi(n) log log n)=e^{gamma}, with gamma = Euler's constant (taking n to be products of consecutive primes starting from 2 and applying Mertens' theorem). See e.g. Ribenboim, pp. 319-320.

a(n)=sum_(i=1..n) |k(n, i)| where k(n, i) is the Kronecker symbol. Also a(n)=#{ 1<=i<=n : k(n, i)=0} where k(n, i) is the Kronecker symbol. - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 06 2004

Conjecture : limit Sum((-1)^i/(i * phi(i)) 2<=i<=Infinity) exists and is ca. 0.558. - Orges Leka (oleka(AT)students.uni-mainz.de), Dec 23 2004

Contribution from Enrique Pérez Herrero, Sep 07 2010: (Start)

a(n)=sum_{i=1}^{n}{floor(sigma_k(i*n)/sigma_k(i)*sigma_k(n))}, where sigma_2 is A001157

a(n)=sum_{i=1}^{n}{floor(tau_k(i*n)/tau_k(i)*tau_k(n))}, where tau_3 is A007425

a(n)=sum_{i=1}^{n}{floor(rad(i*n)/rad(i)*rad(n))}, where rad is A007947 (End)

a(n) = A173557(n) * A003557(n). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 30 2011

phi(p*n)= phi(n)*[floor(((n+p-1) mod p)/(p-1))+p-1], for prime p. - Gary Detlefs, Apr 21 2012

a(n), n odd = 2 * A135303((n-1)/2)) * A003558((n-1)/2)) or phi(n) = 2 * c * k; the Coach theorem of Pedersen et al. Cf. A135303. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 15 2012.
