An arithmetic function f is said to be multiplicative if f(mn) = f(m)f(n), whenever (m, n) = 1 and f(1) = 1. The Dirichlet convolution of two arithmetic functions f and g, denoted by f • g, is defined by f • g(n) = Σd|nf(d)g(n/d). Let w(n) denote the product of the distinct prime factors of n, with w(l) = 1. R.
