Positive rational number of the form \varphi(km^{a})/\varphi(ln^{b})

Publication date: 1 December 2022

Abstract: Let

k, l, a

and

b

be positive integers with

m a x a,, b g e 2

. In this paper, we show that every positive rational number can be written as the form

v a r p h i (k m^{a}) / v a r p h i (l n^{b})

, where

m,, n i n m a t h b b N

if and only if

g c d (a,, b) = 1

or

(a, b, k, l) = (2, 2, 1, 1)

. Moreover, if

g c d (a, b) > 1

, then the proper representation of such representation is unique.
