Given three integers N, L, and R. The task is to calculate the number of natural numbers in the range [L, R] (both inclusive) which are relatively prime with N.

Examples:  

Input: N = 10, L = 1, R = 25 
Output: 10 
Explanation: 
10 natural numbers (in the range 1 to 25) are relatively prime to 10. 
They are 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19, 21, 23.

Input: N = 12, L = 7, R = 38 
Output: 11 
Explanation: 
11 natural numbers (in the range 1 to 38) are relatively prime to 12. 
They are 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31, 35, 37. 

Approach:  

  1. At first, factorize the number N. Thus, find out all the prime factors of N.
  2. Store prime factors of the number N in an array.
  3. We can determine the total number of natural numbers which are not greater than R and are divisible by prime factors of N.
  4. Suppose that the value is y. So, exactly y natural numbers not greater than R have at least a single common divisor with N.
  5. So, these y numbers can not be relatively prime to N.
  6. Thus, the number of natural number not greater than R which are relatively prime to N will be R – y .
  7. Now, similarly we need to find out the number of relatively prime numbers of N which are not greater than L-1.
  8. Then, subtract the result for L-1 from the answer for R.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ code to count of natural
// numbers in range [L, R] which
// are relatively prime with N
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define maxN (long long)1000000000000
 
// container of all the primes

vector<int> prime;
 
// Function to calculate prime
// factors of n
void sieve(long long n)
{
    // run the sieve of Eratosthenes
    bool check[1000007] = { 0 };
    long long i, j;
 
    // 0(false) means prime,
    // 1(true) means not prime
    check[0] = 1, check[1] = 1,
    check[2] = 0;
 
    // no even number is
    // prime except for 2
    for (i = 4; i <= n; i += 2)
        check[i] = true;
 
    for (i = 3; i * i <= n; i += 2)
        if (!check[i]) {
 
            // all the multiples of each
            // each prime numbers are
            // non-prime
            for (j = i * i; j <= n; j += 2 * i)
                check[j] = true;
        }
 
    prime.push_back(2);
 
    // get all the primes
    // in prime vector
    for (int i = 3; i <= n; i += 2)
        if (!check[i])
            prime.push_back(i);
 
    return;
}
 
// Count the number of numbers
// up to m which are divisible
// by given prime numbers
long long count(long long a[],
                int n, long long m)
{
    long long parity[3] = { 0 };
 
    // Run from i= 000..0 to i= 111..1

                mult *= a[j];
 
        // take the multiplication
        // of all the set bits
 
        // if the number of set bits
        // is odd, then add to the
        // number of multiples
        parity[__builtin_popcount(i) & 1]
            += (m / mult);
    }
 
    return parity[1] - parity[0];
}
 
// Function calculates all number
// not greater than 'm' which are
// relatively prime with n.

            break;
