As we know the equation πxβ‘1 (πod π) can be solve if and only if (π,π) =1, so π and π are relatively prime. So, knowing the elements relatively prime to another is somewhat important. Let us call π(π) the number of positive elements less than π that are relatively prime with π.Prove the next claims about π.
a.If p is prime, what isπ(π)?
b.If p is prime, what is π(π^π)?
c.If p and q are prime, what is π(πq)?

if you google Euler's phi function, you can read about the properties of π(n)
