Hello all! :)

I stumbled upon this problem but I do not know how to solve it.

http://www.spoj.com/problems/ADDLCM/

The sum can be written as

but this doesn't make the problem any easier. I can evaluate the first sum but its not easy to evaluate the second. Please give me some ideas to solve this.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    I already read it but I do not see how to simplify the second sum in terms of totient function.

      We have to basically calculate:

      Now , using the property

      LCM(x, y) = x * y / gcd(x, y)

      The summation changes to :

      (See I have change the limits that is why an extra N on the left side as i=N is trivial) Now writing the summation in reverse order:

       ≠ wline

      Adding the first and this equation you get:

      which can be computed and we can output x.

        Please read the problem I am trying to ask. I already know how to evaluate the sum you have mentioned (basically the first sum in OP), I am facing trouble evaluating the second sum, the limits of which do not end at b. Thanks!

Anyone? I am really stuck on this one for a long time. I feel this can be solved with Mobius inversion but given my inexperience with that, I am not sure how to proceed in that direction.

As before, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You can transform the sum a bit to a sum of expressions like this:

i.e. a sum of numbers relatively prime to z. As z ≤ 106, it can't have more than 7 prime divisors, and the sum can be calculated quite fast using the inclusion-exclusion principle.
