Abstract

We deduce asymptotic formulas for the sums n1,,nrxf(n1nr)\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f(n_1\cdots n_r) and n1,,nrxf([n1nr])\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f([n_1\cdots n_r]), where r2r\ge 2 is a fixed integer, [n1,,nr][n_1,\ldots,n_r] stands for the least common multiple of the integers n1,,nrn_1,\ldots,n_r and ff is one of the divisor functions τ1,k(n)\tau_{1,k}(n) (k1k\ge 1), τ(e)(n)\tau^{(e)}(n) and τ(n)\tau^*(n). Our formulas refine and generalize a result of Lelechenko (2014). A new generalization of the Busche-Ramanujan identity is also pointed out.
