fareylen

fareylen — returns the length of a Farey Sequence.

Description

This opcode can be used in conjunction with GENfarey. It calculates the length of Farey Sequence Fn. Its length is given by: |Fn| = 1 + SUM over n phi(m) where phi(m) is Euler's totient function, which gives the number of integers ≤ m that are coprime to m.

Some values for the length of Fn given n:
