Problem

Let $\phi(n)$ denote $\textit{Euler's phi function}$, the number of integers $1\leq i\leq n$ that are relatively prime to $n$. (For example, $\phi(6)=2$ and $\phi(10)=4$.) Let $S=\sum_{d|2008}\phi(d)$, in which $d$ ranges through all positive divisors of $2008$, including $1$ and $2008$. Find the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000$.

Solution

The divisors of $2008$ are $1$,$2$,$4$,$8$,$251$,$502$,$1004$, and $2008$, so the problem requires the sum of the number of numbers relatively prime to each of the eight numbers.

Using the formula $\phi(n) = n \cdot (1 - \tfrac{1}{p_1})(1 - \tfrac{1}{p_2}) \cdots (1 - \tfrac{1}{p_n})$ (or by manually counting the numbers relatively prime to each number), $1$ number is relatively prime to $1$, $1$ number is relatively prime to $2$, $2$ numbers are relatively prime to $4$, $4$ numbers are relatively prime to $8$, $250$ numbers are relatively prime to $251$, $250$ numbers are relatively prime to $502$, $500$ numbers are relatively prime to $1004$, and $1000$ numbers are relatively prime to $2008$. That means $S = 2008$, and the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000$ is $\boxed{8}$.

Extra Note

If the divisors of n are ${d_1}$, ${d_2}$, ${d_3}$, ... ${d_k}$, $\phi(n)$ = $\phi({d_1})$ + $\phi({d_2})$ + .... + $\phi({d_k})$. This provides a shorter approach in this problem because it asks about the sum of the number of numbers co prime to 2008's divisors, as mentioned earlier. This is the same as 2008 itself, drastically simplifying the problem.
