Arithmetic progressions that consist only of reduced residues

This paper contains an elementary derivation of formulas for multiplicative functions of m which exactly yield the following numbers: the number of distinct arithmetic progressions of w reduced residues modulo m; the number of the same with first term n; the number of the same with mean n; the numbe...

Description
Summary:This paper contains an elementary derivation of formulas for multiplicative functions of m which exactly yield the following numbers: the number of distinct arithmetic progressions of w reduced residues modulo m; the number of the same with first term n; the number of the same with mean n; the number of the same with common difference n. With m and odd w fixed, the values of the first two of the last three functions are fixed and equal for all n relatively prime to m; other similar relations exist among these three functions.
