Example of Euler $\phi$ Function of Square-Free Integer

$\map \phi {25 \, 942} = 10 \, 368$

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


Proof

From Euler Phi Function of Square-Free Integer:

$\ds \map \phi n = \prod_{\substack {p \mathop \divides n \\ p \mathop > 2} } \paren {p - 1}$

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


We have that:

$25 \, 942 = 2 \times 7 \times 17 \times 109$

and so is square-free.


Thus:

\(\ds \map \phi {25 \, 942}\) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {7 - 1} \paren {17 - 1} \paren {109 - 1}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 6 \times 16 \times 108\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \paren {2 \times 3} \times 2^4 \times \paren {2^2 \times 3^3}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2^7 \times 3^4\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 10 \, 368\)
