      Let \(f\) be an analytic function on some domain \(A\). There exist various exact and asymptotic formulas for the sums \[ \sum_{k\leq x}f(a_k),\;\sum_{p\leq x}f\left(\frac{1}{p^s}\right), \] where \(\{a_1,a_2,\dots \}\) is an arbitrary sequence with property \(|a_k|<1 \), symbol \(p\) denote a prime number, and \(s\) is a real variable. Some of the obtained formulas are used for special functions \(f\). As an example, the following assertion is found in this paper. Let \(f\) be an analytic function in \((-1,1]\) and \(f(0)=0\). Assume that the quantity \[ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{d\mid n}\frac{f^{(d)}(0)}{\Gamma (d)}\mu\left(\frac{n}{d}\right) \] is bounded from above with the gamma function \(\Gamma\) and the Möbius function \(\mu\). Then, for an arbitrary \(s>1\), \[ \sum_{p\leq x}f\left(\frac{1}{p^s}\right)=\sum_{p {\text{ prime}}}f\left(\frac{1}{p^s}\right)+ O\left(\frac{1}{x^{s-1}\log x}f'\left(\frac{1}{x^s}\right)\right), \;x\rightarrow\infty. \]
