Abstract
Let be the M\"{o}bius function. Let denote the smallest prime factor of an integer . In 1977, Alladi established the following formula related to the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions for positive integers with , where is Euler's totient function. In this note, we will show a logarithmic analogue of Alladi's formula in an elementary proof.
