Abstract

Given an integer n2n \ge 2, its prime factorization is expressed as n=i=1spiain= \prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}. We define the function f(n)f(n) as the smallest positive integer such that f(n)!f(n)! is divisible by nn. The main objective of this paper is to derive an asymptotic formula for both sums nxf(n)\sum_{n \le x} f(n) and nx,nSkf(n)\sum_{n \le x, n \in S_k} f(n), where SkS_k denotes the set of all kk-free integers.
