The author proves the following asymptotic formula: \[ \sum_{n\leq x}\bigl(1/P(n) -1/Q(n)\bigr) =2\bigl(1+O (\log_3x/ \log_2x)\bigr) x\Bigl( \sum_{n \leq x}1/P^{3/2} (n)\Bigr), \] where \(P(n)\) is the largest prime factor of an integer \(n\geq 2\), \(Q(n)\) is the largest prime power which divides \(n\geq 2\) and \(\log_rx= \log(\log_{r-1}x)\), \(\log_1x= \log x\). Furthermore, it is shown that \[ \sum_{n\leq x}1/ \bigl(P(n)\bigr)^r= rx\delta_r(x) \bigl(1+O (\log_2x/ \log x)^{1/2} \bigr)\quad \text{for }r>0, \] where \(\delta_r(x)= \int^x_2(\rho (\log x/ \log t)/t^{r-1} dt\) and \(\rho(u)\) is Dickman's function.
