Problem 72 Counting fractions: https://projecteuler.net/problem=72
Description:
Consider the fraction, n/d, where n and d are positive integers. If n<d and HCF(n,d)=1,
it is called a reduced proper fraction.
If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for d ≤ 8 in ascending order of size, we
get: 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, 2/5, 3/7, 1/2, 4/7, 3/5, 5/8, 2/3, 5/7,
3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8
It can be seen that there are 21 elements in this set.
How many elements would be contained in the set of reduced proper fractions for
d ≤ 1,000,000?
Solution:
Number of numbers between 1 and n that are coprime to n is given by the Euler's Totient
function, phi(n). So, the answer is simply the sum of phi(n) for 2 <= n <= 1,000,000
Sum of phi(d), for all d|n = n. This result can be used to find phi(n) using a sieve.
