Abstract
A primitive root modulo an integer is the generator of the multiplicative group of integers modulo . Gauss proved that for any prime number greater than , the sum of its primitive roots is congruent to modulo while its product is congruent to modulo , where is the M\"{o}bius function. In this paper, we will generalize these two interesting congruences and give the congruences of the sum and the product of integers with the same index modulo .
