Problem Statement
Let be an integer, and can divide 2^{\phi(n)} \plus{} 3^{\phi(n)} \plus{} \cdots \plus{} n^{\phi(n)}, let be all distinct prime divisors of . Show that \frac {1}{p_{1}} \plus{} \frac {1}{p_{2}} \plus{} \cdots \plus{} \frac {1}{p_{k}} \plus{} \frac {1}{p_{1}p_{2}\cdots p_{k}} is an integer. ( where is defined as the number of positive integers that are relatively prime to .)
