Let $f(n)$ be the number of $6$-tuples $(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4,x_5,x_6)$ such that:

All $x_i$ are integers with $0 \leq x_i < n$
$\gcd (x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_5^2+x_6^2,\ n^2)=1$

Let $\displaystyle G(n)=\displaystyle \sum _{k=1}^n \frac {f(k)}{k^2\varphi (k)}$

where $\varphi (n)$ is Euler’s totient function.

For example, $G(10)=3053$ and $G(10^5) \equiv 157612967 \pmod {1\,000\,000\,007}$.

Find $G(10^{12})\bmod 1\,000\,000\,007$.

Problem 715: Sextuplet Norms

Mathematical Foundation

Definition. Since $f$ is multiplicative, it is completely determined by its values at prime powers. For a prime $p$ and exponent $a$ , write $f(p^a)$ for the value at $p^a$ .

Lemma 1. For a multiplicative function $f$ and multiplicative functions $g(k) = k^2 \varphi(k)$ , the sum $G(n)$ has an Euler product representation for the associated Dirichlet series:

\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{f(k)}{k^2 \varphi(k)} = \prod_{p \text{ prime}} \left( \sum_{a=0}^{\infty} \frac{f(p^a)}{p^{2a} \varphi(p^a)} \right).

Proof. Since both $f(k)$ and $k^2 \varphi(k)$ are multiplicative, their ratio $f(k)/(k^2 \varphi(k))$ is multiplicative. By the fundamental theorem of multiplicative Dirichlet series, the sum factors as an Euler product over primes. $\square$

Theorem 1. Define the local factor at prime $p$ :

F_p = \sum_{a=0}^{\infty} \frac{f(p^a)}{p^{2a} \varphi(p^a)} = 1 + \sum_{a=1}^{\infty} \frac{f(p^a)}{p^{2a} \cdot p^{a-1}(p-1)} = 1 + \frac{1}{p-1} \sum_{a=1}^{\infty} \frac{f(p^a)}{p^{3a-1}}.

To compute the partial sum $G(n)$ , we use a multiplicative function sieve: compute $h(k) = f(k)/(k^2 \varphi(k))$ for all $k \leq n$ via a sieve over prime powers, then sum.

Proof. The factorization $\varphi(p^a) = p^{a-1}(p-1)$ for $a \geq 1$ gives the stated simplification. The sieve computes $h(k)$ by iterating over primes $p \leq n$ and for each prime, multiplying in the local factors for all multiples of $p$ . Since $h$ is multiplicative, this correctly computes all values. $\square$

Lemma 2. The computation of $h(k)$ in modular arithmetic requires the modular inverse of $k^2 \varphi(k)$ , which exists modulo $10^9 + 7$ (a prime) for all $k \geq 1$ .

Proof. Since $10^9 + 7$ is prime and $\gcd(k, 10^9+7) = 1$ for all $k \leq 10^5$ , the modular inverse exists by Fermat’s little theorem: $k^{-1} \equiv k^{10^9+5} \pmod{10^9+7}$ . $\square$

Editorial

We sieve smallest prime factor. Finally, iterate over each k, compute f(k), k^2, phi(k) via factorization. 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 smallest prime factor
For each k, compute f(k), k^2, phi(k) via factorization

Complexity Analysis

Time: $O(n \log \log n)$ for the sieve, plus $O(n \log n)$ for factorizing each $k$ and computing $f(k)$ , $\varphi(k)$ . Modular inverse via fast exponentiation costs $O(\log p)$ per term. Total: $O(n \log p)$ where $p = 10^9 + 7$ .
Space: $O(n)$ for the sieve array.
