Abstract: Let $kinmathbbN$. Let $f(x)inBbbZ[x]$ be any polynomial such that $f(x)$ and $f(x+1)f(x+2)\mathrm{...}f(x+k)$ are coprime in $mathbbQ[x]$. We call ${\displaystyle }$g_{k,f}(n):=frac{|f(n)f(n+1)... f(n+k)|}{ ext{lcm}(f(n),f(n+1),...,f(n+k))}${\displaystyle }$ a Farhi arithmetic function. In this paper, we prove that $g_{k,f}$ is periodic. This generalizes the previous results of Farhi and Kane, and Hong and Yang.
