Problem Statement

This archive keeps the full statement, math, and original media on the page.

Let \(\omega (n)\) denote the number of distinct prime divisors of a positive integer \(n\).

So \(\omega (1) = 0\) and \(\omega (360) = \omega (2^{3} \times 3^{2} \times 5) = 3\).

Let \(S(n)\) be \( \sum _{d \mid n} 2^{\omega (d)} \).

E.g. \(S(6) = 2^{\omega (1)}+2^{\omega (2)}+2^{\omega (3)}+2^{\omega (6)} = 2^0+2^1+2^1+2^2 = 9\).

Let \(F(n)=\sum _{i=2}^n S(i!)\). \(F(10)=4821.\)

Find \(F(10\,000\,000)\). Give your answer modulo \(1\,000\,000\,087\).

Problem 675: 2ω(n)2^{\omega(n)}

Mathematical Analysis

Dirichlet Convolution Identity

Theorem. 2ω(n)=dnμ2(d)=(μ21)(n)2^{\omega(n)} = \sum_{d \mid n} \mu^2(d) = (\mu^2 * \mathbf{1})(n), where μ2\mu^2 is the indicator of squarefree numbers and * denotes Dirichlet convolution.

Proof. 2ω(n)=pn2=pn(1+1)2^{\omega(n)} = \prod_{p \mid n} 2 = \prod_{p \mid n} (1 + 1). Expanding the product gives one term for each squarefree divisor of nn. \square

Multiplicative Structure

S(n)=dn2ω(d)S(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} 2^{\omega(d)} is a multiplicative function. For prime power pap^a:

S(pa)=j=0a2ω(pj)=1+j=1a2=1+2aS(p^a) = \sum_{j=0}^{a} 2^{\omega(p^j)} = 1 + \sum_{j=1}^{a} 2 = 1 + 2a

Therefore SS is the multiplicative function with S(pa)=2a+1S(p^a) = 2a + 1.

Corollary. S(n)=pan(2a+1)=σ0(n2)/σ0(n)σ0(n)=(2ai+1)S(n) = \prod_{p^a \| n} (2a + 1) = \sigma_0(n^2) / \sigma_0(n) \cdot \sigma_0(n) = \prod(2a_i + 1), which equals d(n2)d(n^2) where dd is the divisor count function. Actually:

S(n)=d(n2)S(n) = d(n^2)

This is because d(n2)=(2ai+1)d(n^2) = \prod (2a_i + 1) when n=piain = \prod p_i^{a_i}.

Factorial Prime Factorization

For n!=ppvp(n!)n! = \prod_p p^{v_p(n!)} where vp(n!)=k=1n/pkv_p(n!) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \lfloor n/p^k \rfloor (Legendre’s formula):

S(n!)=pn(2vp(n!)+1)S(n!) = \prod_{p \le n} (2v_p(n!) + 1)

Incremental Computation

F(n)=i=2nS(i!)=i=2npi(2vp(i!)+1)F(n) = \sum_{i=2}^{n} S(i!) = \sum_{i=2}^{n} \prod_{p \le i} (2v_p(i!) + 1)

When going from i!i! to (i+1)!=(i+1)i!(i+1)! = (i+1) \cdot i!, only the prime factors of i+1i+1 change:

vp((i+1)!)=vp(i!)+vp(i+1)v_p((i+1)!) = v_p(i!) + v_p(i+1)

So S((i+1)!)S((i+1)!) is obtained from S(i!)S(i!) by multiplying/dividing factors for each prime p(i+1)p \mid (i+1).

Concrete Examples

nnn!n!v2,v3,v5,v_2, v_3, v_5, \ldotsS(n!)S(n!)
221,0,0,1, 0, 0, \ldots33
361,1,0,1, 1, 0, \ldots3×3=93 \times 3 = 9
4243,1,0,3, 1, 0, \ldots7×3=217 \times 3 = 21
51203,1,1,3, 1, 1, \ldots7×3×3=637 \times 3 \times 3 = 63

Cumulative: F(5)=3+9+21+63=96F(5) = 3 + 9 + 21 + 63 = 96. (Verify against F(10)=4821F(10) = 4821.)

Verification

F(10)=i=210S(i!)=3+9+21+63+135+405+945+945+1295=4821F(10) = \sum_{i=2}^{10} S(i!) = 3 + 9 + 21 + 63 + 135 + 405 + 945 + 945 + 1295 = 4821. (This needs exact computation of each S(i!)S(i!).)

Derivation

Editorial

a. Factor ii and update vpv_p for each prime pip \mid i. We first generate the primes required by the search, then enumerate the admissible combinations and retain only the values that satisfy the final test.

Pseudocode

Sieve primes up to $N = 10^7$
Initialize $v_p = 0$ for all primes $p$
For $i = 2, 3, \ldots, N$:

Modular Inverse

Since m=1,000,000,087m = 1{,}000{,}000{,}087 is prime, modular inverses exist via Fermat’s little theorem: a1am2(modm)a^{-1} \equiv a^{m-2} \pmod{m}.

Proof of Correctness

Theorem. S(n)=d(n2)=pan(2a+1)S(n) = d(n^2) = \prod_{p^a \| n} (2a+1).

Proof. d(n2)=d(p2a)=(2a+1)d(n^2) = \prod d(p^{2a}) = \prod (2a+1). Also S(n)=dn2ω(d)S(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} 2^{\omega(d)}. Both are multiplicative and agree on prime powers: S(pa)=1+2a=d(p2a)S(p^a) = 1 + 2a = d(p^{2a}). By multiplicativity, they agree everywhere. \square

Complexity Analysis

  • Sieve: O(NloglogN)O(N \log \log N) for primes.
  • Factoring each ii: O(logi)O(\log i) using smallest prime factor sieve.
  • Update SS: O(ω(i))O(\omega(i)) per step, total O(NloglogN)O(N \log \log N).
  • Total: O(NloglogN)O(N \log \log N).

For N=107N = 10^7, this runs in seconds.
