Problem 530: GCD of Divisors

Mathematical Foundation

Theorem (Multiplicativity of $f$). The function $f$ is multiplicative: if $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, then $f(ab) = f(a) \cdot f(b)$.

Proof. Since $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, the divisors of $ab$ are exactly $\{d_1 d_2 : d_1 \mid a, d_2 \mid b\}$. For $d = d_1 d_2$ with $d_1 \mid a$ and $d_2 \mid b$:

where the last equality uses $\gcd(a, b) = 1$ (which implies $\gcd(d_1, b/d_2) = 1$ and $\gcd(d_2, a/d_1) = 1$). Therefore:

$\square$

Lemma (Values at Prime Powers). For a prime $p$ and $k \ge 1$:

Explicitly:

Proof. The divisors of $p^k$ are $p^j$ for $0 \le j \le k$. For divisor $d = p^j$, $n/d = p^{k-j}$, so $\gcd(d, n/d) = p^{\min(j, k-j)}$.

For even $k$: the sum is $\sum_{j=0}^{k} p^{\min(j,k-j)} = 2\sum_{j=0}^{k/2-1} p^j + p^{k/2} = 2 \cdot \frac{p^{k/2}-1}{p-1} + p^{k/2}$.

For odd $k$: the sum is $2\sum_{j=0}^{(k-1)/2} p^j = 2 \cdot \frac{p^{(k+1)/2}-1}{p-1}$. $\square$

Theorem (Summatory Formula via Substitution). For each divisor $d$ of $n$, let $g = \gcd(d, n/d)$. Write $d = ga$ and $n/d = gb$ with $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, so $n = g^2 ab$. Then:

Proof. Each triple $(g, a, b)$ with $g \ge 1$, $a \ge 1$, $b \ge 1$, $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, and $g^2 ab \le k$ corresponds to exactly one pair $(n, d)$ with $d \mid n$, $n \le k$, and $\gcd(d, n/d) = g$: set $n = g^2 ab$ and $d = ga$. The contribution to $F(k)$ is $g$. Conversely, given $(n, d)$ with $d \mid n$ and $g = \gcd(d, n/d)$, setting $a = d/g$ and $b = (n/d)/g$ recovers the triple with $\gcd(a, b) = 1$ and $n = g^2 ab$. This is a bijection. $\square$

Lemma (Mobius Inversion for Coprime Pairs). The count of coprime pairs $(a, b)$ with $ab \le M$ is

where $D(x) = \sum_{j=1}^{x} \lfloor x/j \rfloor$ is the Dirichlet divisor sum.

Proof. Apply Mobius inversion to the coprimality constraint: $\#\{(a,b) : \gcd(a,b)=1, ab \le M\} = \sum_{e \ge 1} \mu(e) \cdot \#\{(a',b') : a'b' \le M/e^2\}$, where we substituted $a = ea'$, $b = eb'$. The inner count $\#\{(a',b') : a'b' \le M/e^2\} = D(\lfloor M/e^2 \rfloor)$ by definition. The sum is finite since $\mu(e) = 0$ for $e^2 > M$. $\square$

Lemma (Hyperbola Method for $D(x)$). The Dirichlet divisor sum satisfies

and is computable in $O(\sqrt{x})$ time.

Proof. By the Dirichlet hyperbola method: $D(x) = \sum_{ab \le x} 1 = \sum_{a=1}^{\lfloor\sqrt{x}\rfloor} \lfloor x/a \rfloor + \sum_{b=1}^{\lfloor\sqrt{x}\rfloor} \lfloor x/b \rfloor - \lfloor\sqrt{x}\rfloor^2$, which equals $2\sum_{j=1}^{\lfloor\sqrt{x}\rfloor} \lfloor x/j \rfloor - \lfloor\sqrt{x}\rfloor^2$. The sum has $O(\sqrt{x})$ terms. $\square$

Theorem (Final Formula). Combining the above:

Proof. Substitute $M = \lfloor k/g^2 \rfloor$ into the Mobius inversion lemma, then sum over $g$. $\square$

Editorial

f(n) = sum_{d|n} gcd(d, n/d) F(k) = sum_{n=1}^{k} f(n) Find F(10^15). F(k) = sum_{g=1}^{sqrt(k)} g * sum_{e: mu(e)!=0} mu(e) * D(k/(g^2*e^2)) where D(x) = Dirichlet divisor sum. We sieve Mobius function up to sqrt(k). We then compute F(k). Finally, hyperbola method for D(x).

Complexity Analysis

• Time: The outer sum over $g$ has $O(\sqrt{k})$ terms. For each $g$, the inner sum over $e$ has $O(\sqrt{k}/g)$ terms. For each $(g, e)$ pair, $D(x)$ is computed in $O(\sqrt{x})$ time where $x = \lfloor k/(g^2 e^2)\rfloor$. The total cost is

• Space: $O(\sqrt{k})$ for the Mobius function sieve.
