Problem Statement

Find all functions f:Z+Z+f: \mathbb{Z}^+\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ such that for all positive integers m,nm,n with mnm\ge n, f(mφ(n3))=f(m)φ(n3).f(m\varphi(n^3)) = f(m)\cdot \varphi(n^3). Here φ(n)\varphi(n) denotes the number of positive integers coprime to nn and not exceeding nn.
