Original question and givens

Use positive integer n=24, exact integer arithmetic function f(k)=a*k+b with a=4, b=11. F(m) sums f(d) over every positive divisor d of m. Inversion uses mu(d)*F(m/d); complete prime multiplicities determine mu, with mu(1)=1. Do not replace d|m by d≤m or use only prime/proper divisors. Give (n, divisor_value_rows, F_n, certificate).

  • G001 — Use positive integer n=24, exact integer arithmetic function f(k)=a*k+b with a=4, b=11. F(m) sums f(d) over every positive divisor d of m. Inversion uses mu(d)*F(m/d); complete prime multiplicities determine mu, with mu(1)=1. Do not replace d|m by d≤m or use only prime/proper divisors. Give (n, divisor_value_rows, F_n, certificate).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
