Problem Statement

a)a) Let mm and nn be positive integers. If m>1m>1 prove that nϕ(mn1) n \mid \phi(m^n-1) where ϕ\phi is Euler function b)b) Prove that number of elements in sequence 1,2,...,n1,2,...,n (nN)(n \in \mathbb{N}), which greatest common divisor with nn is dd, is ϕ(nd)\phi\left(\frac{n}{d}\right)
