Example of Consecutive Integers with Same Euler Phi Value
Let $\phi: \Z_{>0} \to \Z_{>0}$ denote the Euler $\phi$ function: the number of strictly positive integers less than or equal to $n$ which are prime to $n$.
Then:
- $\map \phi {104} = \map \phi {105} = 48$
Proof
From $\phi$ of $104$:
- $\map \phi {104} = 48$
From $\phi$ of $105$:
- $\map \phi {105} = 48$
Hence the result.
$\blacksquare$
