Abstract

Menon's identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function ϕ\phi. We derived the Menon-type identity m=1(m.ns)s=1ns(m1,ns)s=Φs(ns)τs(ns)\sum\limits_{\substack{m=1\\(m.n^s)_s=1}}^{n^s} (m-1,n^s)_s=\Phi_s(n^s)\tau_s(n^s) in Czechoslovak Math. J., 72(1):165-176 (2022) where Φs\Phi_s denotes the Klee's function and (a,b)s(a,b)_s denotes a a generalization of the gcd function. Here we give an alternate method to derive this identity using the concept of Cohen-Ramanujan sum.
