Abstract: Menon's identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function $phi$. In a recent paper, Zhao and Cao derived the Menon-type identity $sumlimit{s}_{substackk=1}^n(k-1,n)chi(k)=phi(n)au(fracnd)$, where $chi$ is a Dirichlet character mod $n$ with conductor $d$. We derive an identity similar to this replacing gcd with a generalization it. We also show that some of the arguments used in the derivation of Zhao-Cao identity can be improved if one uses the method we employ here.
