[seqfan] Re: Let p_1 .. p_k be prime divisors of n counted with multiplicity, then consider the rational number (p_1-1)/p_1 + (p_2-1)/p_2 + ... (p_k-1)/p_k

 Dear Thomas,

While I cannot answer any of your questions, I think that D(n) is already
in the OEIS as A083346(n). This is because s(n) = (1 - 1/p_1) + ... + (1 -
1/p_k) = k - (1/p_1 + ... + 1/p_k) = k - r(n), where r(n) is defined as in
the OEIS-entry.

Best,
Jakob
