HW3, Chapter 3, Problem 40, MA453, Fall 2008, Prof. Walther

Problem Statement

Could somebody please state the problem?


Discussion

It seems to me that |U(r)| x |U(s)| x gcd(r,s) = |U(rs)|. All of the integers in Problem 38 had a gcd of 1, but 4 and 10 have a gcd of 2. I thought of a couple other examples that this works for (2 and 4 is a simple example that holds).

I thought that if Let U(r)=a U(s)=b if either one or both r or s is prime then |U(rs)|=2*(ab). Same thing you have but said differently Jenny
