Abstract
For a function , define N^{\times}_{f}(x)=\#\{n\leq x: n=kf(k) \mbox{ for some k} \}. Let be the divisor function, be the prime divisor function, and be Euler's totient function. We prove that \begin{gather*} \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\! 1) \quad N^{\times}_{\tau}(x) \asymp \frac{x}{(\log x)^{1/2}}; \\ 2) \quad N^{\times}_{\omega}(x) = (1+o(1))\frac{x}{\log\log x}; \\ \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\! 3) \quad N^{\times}_{\varphi}(x) = (c_0+o(1))x^{1/2}, \end{gather*} where \,.
