Odd numbers with $\varphi(n)/n < 1/2$

The topic was also discussed in this MathOverflow question. From $\varphi(n)/n = \prod_{p|n}(1-1/p)$ (Euler's product formula) one concludes that even numbers $n$ must have $\varphi(n)/n \leq 1/2$ ...

Estimation of the number of solutions for the equation $\sigma(\varphi(n))=\sigma(\operatorname{rad}(n))$

For integers $n\geq 1$ in this post we denote the square-free kernel as $$\operatorname{rad}(n)=\prod_{\substack{p\mid n\\p\text{ prime}}}p,$$ that is the product of distinct primes dividing an ...

An integer sequence defined from a variation of the Lucas–Lehmer primality test: the case of the Euler's totient function

I did a variation of the so-called Lucas–Lehmer primality test, I say this Wikipedia. I've used the Euler's totient function $$\varphi(n)=n\prod_{\substack{p\mid n\\ p\text{ prime}}}\left(1-\frac{1}{...

Largest possible prime factor for given $k$?

Let $k$ be a positive integer. What is the largest possible prime factor of a squarefree positive integer $\ n\ $ with $\ \omega(n)=k\ $ (That is, it has exactly $\ k\ $ prime factors) satisfying the ...

On variations of Erdős squarefree conjecture: presentation and a question as a simple case

I'm inspired in the so-called Erdős squarefree conjecture, this section from Wikipedia, to state in this post a question, involving a different arithmetic function, that due its difficulty I feel as ...

number of coprimes to a less than b

We know that number of coprimes less than a number can be found using euler function https://brilliant.org/wiki/eulers-totient-function/ But if there are two numbers p,q and we need to find number of ...
