Example of Use of Euler $\phi$ Function

$\map \phi {735} = 336$

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:

$735 = 3 \times 5 \times 7^2$


Thus:

\(\ds \map \phi {735}\) \(=\) \(\ds 735 \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 3} \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 5} \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 7}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 735 \times \frac 2 3 \times \frac 4 5 \times \frac 6 7\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 7 \times 2 \times 4 \times 6\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 336\)
