Theorem

$\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \dfrac {\map \Phi n} {n^2} = \dfrac 3 {\pi^2}$

where:

$\map \Phi n = \ds \sum_{k \mathop = 1}^n \map \phi k$
$\map \phi k$ is the Euler $\phi$ function of $k$.


Numerically, this evaluates to:

$\dfrac 3 {\pi^2} \approx 0 \cdotp 30396 35509 \ldots$

\(\ds \map \Phi n\) \(=\) \(\ds \sum_{k \mathop = 1}^n \map \phi k\)

\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \sum_{d d' \mathop \le n} d' \map \mu d\) taking $d d' = k$
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \sum_{d \mathop = 1}^n \map \mu d \sum_{d' \mathop = 1}^{\floor {n / d} } d'\) $d'$ takes value from $1$ to $\floor {\frac n d}$ for each $d$
