euler_totient
(n)[source]¶ Counts the positive integers (totatives) in \(1 \le k < n\) that are relatively prime to \(n\), i.e. \(gcd(n, k) = 1\).
Implements the Euler Totient function \(\phi(n)\).
- Parameters
n (int) – A positive integer.
- Returns
The number of totatives that are relatively prime to \(n\).
- Return type
