Example of Use of Euler $\phi$ Function

$\map \phi {76 \, 338} = 25 \, 440$

where $\phi$ denotes the Euler $\phi$ Function.


Proof

From Euler Phi Function of Integer:

$\ds \map \phi n = n \prod_{p \mathop \divides n} \paren {1 - \frac 1 p}$

where $p \divides n$ denotes the primes which divide $n$.


We have that:

$76 \, 344 = 2^3 \times 3 \times 3181$

Thus:

\(\ds \map \phi {76 \, 344}\) \(=\) \(\ds 76 \, 344 \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 2} \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 3} \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 {3181} }\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 76 \, 344 \times \frac 1 2 \times \frac 2 3 \times \frac {3180} {3181}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 4 \times 1 \times 2 \times 3180\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 25 \, 440\)
