Exercise 2.3.11 (Complementary of the preceding)

Find the number of positive integers 3600 that have a factor greater than 1 in common with 3600 .

Answers

Proof. The set S of positive integers n 3600 that have a factor greater than 1 in common with 3600 is the complementary in [ [ 1 , 3600 ] ] of the set of positive integers n 3600 that are prime to 3600 .

Therefore, using Problem 10,

N = | S | = 3600 ϕ ( 3600 ) = 3600 960 = 2640 .
