Euler's Totient function, φ(n) [sometimes called the phi function], is used to determine the number of positive numbers less than or equal to n which are relatively prime to n. For example, as 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8, are all less than nine and relatively prime to nine, φ(9)=6. The number 1 is considered to be relatively prime to every positive number, so φ(1)=1. Interestingly, φ(87109)=79180, and it can be seen that 87109 is a permutation of 79180. Find the value of n, 1 < n < 107, for which φ(n) is a permutation of n and the ratio n/φ(n) produces a minimum. --- From problem 069 we have a fast way to compute the function phi. > import Data.List > import Prime > phi :: Int -> Int > phi n = let decomp = map head $ group $ primeFactors n > in foldl' (\acc p-> (acc `div` p) * (p-1)) n decomp We also define nphi which is just n/phi(n) > nphi :: Int -> Float > nphi n = (fromIntegral n) / fromIntegral (phi n) We also need a function to verify a number is a permutation of another number. > arePermutEquiv p q = sort (show p) == sort (show q) Now we only have to verify for all n > interrestingNumbers n = concatMap foo [2..n] > where > foo x = if arePermutEquiv x (phi x) > then [(x,nphi x)] > else [] The function to return the result: > takeMaximal :: [(Int,Float)] -> (Int,Float) -> (Int,Float) > takeMaximal [] (best,minratio) = (best,minratio) > takeMaximal ((n,ratio):xs) (best,minratio) = > if ratio main = do > print $ takeMaximal ( interrestingNumbers (10^7) ) (0,10^7)
