Sparsely totient number

Sparsely totient number

In mathematics, a sparsely totient number is a certain kind of even natural number. A natural number, "n", is sparsely totient if for all "m" > "n",

:φ("m")>φ("n"),

where φ is Euler's totient function. The first few sparsely totient numbers are:

2, 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 60, 66, 90, 120, 126, 150, 210, 240, 270, 330, 420, 462, 510, 630 OEIS|id=A036913.
