Counting Fractions

Consider the fraction, n/d, where n and d are positive integers. If n<d and HCF(n,d)=1, it is called a reduced proper fraction.

If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for d8 in ascending order of size, we get:

1/8,1/7,1/6,1/5,1/4,2/7,1/3,3/8,2/5,3/7,1/2,
4/7,3/5,5/8,2/3,5/7,3/4,4/5,5/6,6/7,7/8

It can be seen that there are 21 elements in this set.

How many elements would be contained in the set of reduced proper fractions for d1,000,000?


分数计数

考虑形如n/d的分数,其中nd均为正整数。如果n<d且其最大公约数为1,则称该分数为最简真分数。

将所有d8的最简真分数构成的集合按大小升序排列:

1/8,1/7,1/6,1/5,1/4,2/7,1/3,3/8,2/5,3/7,1/2,
4/7,3/5,5/8,2/3,5/7,3/4,4/5,5/6,6/7,7/8

可以看出该集合中共有21个元素。

所有d1,000,000的最简真分数构成的集合中共有多少个元素?
