Euler's totient function φ(n) counts how many integers from 1 to n are coprime to n (share no common factor other than 1). It is fundamental in number theory and RSA encryption.

Формула

φ(n) = n × ∏(1 − 1/p) for all prime factors p of n; for prime p: φ(p) = p−1
n
positive integer
φ(n)
Euler totient of n — count of integers coprime to n

Пошаговое руководство

  1. 1For prime p: φ(p) = p−1
  2. 2φ(pᵏ) = pᵏ−pᵏ⁻¹
  3. 3Multiplicative: φ(mn) = φ(m)φ(n) when gcd(m,n)=1
  4. 4φ(12) = φ(4)×φ(3) = 2×2 = 4

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Why is φ(n) important in cryptography?

φ(n) is essential to RSA encryption: the security depends on the difficulty of computing φ for large products of primes.

What does "coprime" mean?

Two numbers are coprime if their greatest common divisor (GCD) is 1. They share no common factor except 1.

What is φ(p) for a prime p?

φ(p) = p−1, because all numbers 1 to p−1 are coprime to p.
