ɸ(n) = Count of positive integers greater than 0 and less than ‘n’ that are relatively prime to n
i.e. the numbers whose GCD with n is 1
ɸ(5) = {1, 2, 3, 4} = 4
ɸ(6) = {1, 5} = 2
ɸ(n) = n - 1 (When ‘n’ is prime)
ɸ(n) = ɸ(a * b) = ɸ(a) * ɸ(b) = (a - 1) * (b - 1) when a & b are prime numbers
ɸ(n) = … (where , … are distinct prime factors of n)
Prime factors : Factors of an number that are themselves prime
ɸ(6) = ɸ(2) * ɸ(3) = (2 -1) * (3 - 1) = 2
ɸ(1000)
n = 1000 =
ɸ(1000) =
ɸ(1000) = 400
