The $k$-dimensional generalized Euler function $\varphi_k(n)$ is defined to be the number of ordered $k$-tuples $(a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_k) \in \mathbb{N}^k$ with $1\leq a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_k \leq n$ such that both the product $a_1a_2\cdots a_k$…
The generalized group of units of the ring modulo $n$ was first introduced by El-Kassar and Chehade, written as $U^k(Z_n)$. This allows us to formulate a new generalization to the Euler phi function $\varphi(n)$, that represents the order…
Menon's identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function $\phi$. A natural generalization of $\phi$ is the Klee's function $\Phi_s$. In this paper we derive a Menon-type identity using Klee's function and a…
Menon's identity states that for every positive integer $n$ one has $\sum (a-1,n) = \varphi(n) \tau(n)$, where $a$ runs through a reduced residue system (mod $n$), $(a-1,n)$ stands for the greatest common divisor of $a-1$ and $n$,…
Menon's identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function $\phi$. We derived the Menon-type identity $\sum\limits_{\substack{m=1\\(m.n^s)_s=1}}^{n^s} (m-1,n^s)_s=\Phi_s(n^s)\tau_s(n^s)$ in Czechoslovak Math.…

The aim of this article is to present in a self-contained way identities arising in elementary number theory, among which the following one: $$ \sum_{d\mid n}\frac{\mu^2(d)}{\varphi(d)\,d^s}=\prod_{p\mid n}\left(1+\frac{1}{(p-1)p^s}\right).…
Menon's identity is $\sum_{a \in A}^m (a-1,m) = d(m) \varphi(m)$, where $A$ is a reduced set of residues modulo $m$. This paper contains elementary proofs of some generalizations of this result.
An integer $k$ is called regular (mod $n$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $k^2x\equiv k$ (mod $n$). This holds true if and only if $k$ possesses a weak order (mod $n$), i.e., there is an integer $m\ge 1$ such that $k^{m+1} \equiv…
We introduce a new generalization of Euler's $\varphi$-function associated with a system of polynomials of several variables. We reprove by a short direct approach certain known related identities, and study some other special cases that do…
Euler's totient function, $\varphi(n)$, which counts how many of $0,1,\dots,n-1$ are coprime to $n$, has an explicit asymptotic lower bound of $n/\log \log n$, modulo some constant. In this note, we generalise $\varphi$; given an…
The classical Menon's identity [7] states that \begin{equation*}\label{oldbegin1} \sum_{\substack{a\in\Bbb Z_n^\ast }}\gcd(a -1,n)=\varphi(n) \sigma_{0} (n), \end{equation*} where for a positive integer $n$, $\Bbb Z_n^\ast$ is the group of…
We deduce an asymptotic formula with error term for the sum $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k \le x} f([n_1,\ldots, n_k])$, where $[n_1,\ldots, n_k]$ stands for the least common multiple of the positive integers $n_1,\ldots, n_k$ ($k\ge 2$) and $f$…
In this article, we present relations for the Euler totient function $\varphi(n)$ and the number of divisors $\tau(n)$ in terms of finite sums of integer parts of rational numbers or greatest common divisors of pairs of integers. Some of…

Menon's identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function $\phi$. In a recent paper, Zhao and Cao derived the Menon-type identity $\sum\limits_{\substack{k=1}}^{n}(k-1,n)\chi(k) = \phi(n)\tau(\frac{n}{d})$,…
We generalize Menon's identity by considering sums representing arithmetical functions of several variables. As an application, we give a formula for the number of cyclic subgroups of the direct product of several cyclic groups of arbitrary…
