  Euler's totient function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In number theory, the totient φ(n) of a positive integer n is defined to be the number of positive integers less than or equal to n and coprime to n.
The totient is usually called the Euler totient or Euler's totient, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, who studied it.
The totient function is important mainly because it gives the size of the multiplicative group of integers modulo n.

 Highly totient number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sequence of highly totient numbers is a subset of the sequence of smallest number k with exactly n solutions to φ(x) = k.
The concept is somewhat analogous to that of highly composite numbers, and in the same way that 1 is the only odd highly composite number, it is also the only odd highly totient number (indeed, the only odd number to not be a nontotient).
And just as there are infinitely many highly composite numbers, there are also infinitely many highly totient numbers, though the highly totient numbers get tougher to find the higher one goes, since calculating the totient function involves factorization into primes, something that becomes extremely difficult as the numbers get larger.

Definition: The Euler totient function phi(n) is defined as the cardinality of the subset of natural numbers strictly less than n, each of which is relatively prime to n.
Lemma: The totient of a power m of a prime number is phi(p^m) = p^(m - 1) (p - 1).
Theorem: The totient of n is given by the formula phi(n) = n * product, over primes -- in the semi-closed interval (1, n] -- which divide n, of (1 - 1 / p).

If f is an arithmetic function, a function F, called the sum-function of f, is defined by letting F(n) be the sum of the terms f(d) for all divisors d of n.
Any arithmetic function f for which f(1) is nonzero has a Dirichlet inverse if we're considering arithmetic functions whose values are in a field.
A multiplicative function which is zero for squares of primes, and higher powers of prime numbers, is thus the Dirichlet inverse of a totally multiplicative function.
