Answers to Questions (FAQ)

What is Euler's totient? (Definition)

Euler's totient function (or Euler's indicator), noted with the greek letter phi: $ \varphi(n) $ or $ \phi(n) $ an arithmetic function which associates with each strictly positive natural number $ n $, the number of natural numbers between 1 and $ n $ that are coprime with $ n $.

How to calculate phi(n) (Euler's totient)?

Phi(n) (euler indicator) is determined in several ways. The best-known calculation formula for determining the value of the Euler indicator uses the decomposition into prime factors of $ n $. Let $ p_i $ be the $ m $ distinct prime factors that are divisor or $ n $ (of multiplicity $ k $). Formula (1) is:

$$ \varphi(n) = \prod_{i=1}^m (p_i-1) p_i^{k_i-1} \quad\quad (1) $$

After simplification, another formula (2) is:

$$ \varphi(n) = n \prod_{i=1}^m \left( 1 - \frac{1}{p_i} \right) \quad\quad (2) $$

Example: For $ n = 12 $, only $ 1,\ 5,\ 7,\ 11 $ are coprime with $ 12 $ so $ \varphi(12) = 4 $. The prime factor decomposition of 12 is $ 12 = 2^2 \times 3^1 $

Formula (1) $$ \varphi(12) = \left( (2-1) \times 2^{2-1} \right) \times \left( (3-1) \times 3^{1-1} \right) = 2 \times 2 = 4 $$

Formula (2) $$ \varphi(12) = 12 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \right) \left( 1 - \frac{1}{3} \right) = 12 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} = 12 \times \frac{2}{6} = \frac{24}{6} = 4 $$

How to calculate phi(n) if n is prime?

If $ n $ is a prime number, then $ \varphi(n) = n-1 $

How to calculate inverse phi(n)?

Solving $ \phi(x) = N $ requires an optimized search algorithm based on $ \phi(x) \geq \sqrt{\frac{x}{2}} $ that tests all values. More details here

What is Euler's totient for (Euler's theorem)?

Euler totient phi function is used in modular arithmetic. It is used in Euler's theorem:

If $ n $ is an integer superior or equal to 1 and $ a $ an integer coprime with $ n $, then $$ a^{\varphi(n)} \equiv 1 \mod n $$

Example: $ n=7 $ , $ a=3 $ and $ \varphi(7) = 6 $ so $ 3^6 = 729 \equiv 1 \mod 7 $

This theorem is the basis of the RSA encryption.

What are Euler's totient properties?

The Euler indicator is an essential function of modular arithmetic:

— A positive integer $ p $ is a prime number if and only if $ \varphi(p) = p - 1 $

— The value $ \varphi(n) $ is even for all $ n > 2 $

— $ \varphi(ab) = \varphi(a) \varphi(b) \frac{d}{\varphi(d)} $ with $ d $ the GCD of $ a $ and $ b $

— If $ a $ and $ b $ are coprimes (relatively primes), then $ \varphi(a \times b) = \varphi(a) \times \varphi(b) $

— If $ a $ divides $ b $ then $ \varphi(a) \mid \varphi(b) $

— If $ a $ is even, $ \varphi(2a) = 2 \varphi(a) $

— If $ a $ is odd, $ \varphi(2a) = \varphi(a) $

The sequence of values of Phi(n) is 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4, 10, 4, 12, 6, 8, 8, 16, 6, 18, 8, 12, 10, 22, 8, 20, 12, 18, 12, 28, etc. here

What is the algorithm for phi(n)?

The Euler phi(n) calculation can be coded with an algorithm like:
function phi(n) {
r = n;
for (i = 2; i*i <= n; i++) {
if (n % i == 0) {
r -= r / i;
while (n % i == 0) {
n /= i;
}
}
}
if (n > 1) r -= r / n;
return r;
}
