      The primordial \(p\#\) of a prime \(p\) is defined as the product of all primes \(q\le p\). Let \(pr(n)\) be the largest prime \(p\) with \(p\#\varphi(n)\), where \(\varphi(n)\) is Euler's totient function. The authors prove that the normal order of magnitude of the function \(pr(n)\) is \((\log\log n)/(\log\log\log n)\). They prove even that there exists an asymptotic Poisson distribution. Similar questions are considered also for the Carmichael arithmetic function, as well as for the largest integer \(k\) such that \(k!\) divides \(\varphi(n)\).
