Solution

Answer: 939087315

Let $H$ denote the set of $5$-smooth (Hamming) numbers:

$$H={2^a3^b5^c : a,b,c\ge0}.$$

We seek

$$S(L)=\sum_{\substack{n\le L\ \phi(n)\in H}} n,$$

with $L=10^{12}$.

The problem is to characterize all $n$ such that $\phi(n)$ is $5$-smooth.

1. Mathematical analysis

Recall Euler’s totient formula:

$$\phi(n)=\prod_{p^k\parallel n} p^{k-1}(p-1).$$

We require every prime factor of $\phi(n)$ to belong to ${2,3,5}$.

Step 1: Restrictions on primes dividing $n$

Suppose $p^k\parallel n$.

Then the totient contributes

$$p^{k-1}(p-1).$$

Case A: $p>5$

If $k\ge2$, then $p^{k-1}\mid\phi(n)$, so the prime $p>5$ divides $\phi(n)$, impossible.

Hence for every prime $p>5$,

$$p^2\nmid n.$$

So such primes may occur only to the first power.

Also, $p-1\mid \phi(n)$, so $p-1$ itself must be $5$-smooth.

Therefore every prime $p>5$ dividing $n$ satisfies

$$p-1\in H.$$

These are exactly the primes of the form

$$p=h+1,\qquad h\in H.$$

We call them Hamming primes.

Step 2: Structure of all valid $n$

Let

$h\in H$ (any $5$-smooth number),
$m$ be a squarefree product of distinct Hamming primes $>5$.

Then

$$n=hm.$$

Why does this work?

$\phi(h)$ is again $5$-smooth because

$$\phi(2^a3^b5^c)=2^{a-1}3^{b-1}5^{c-1}(1)(2)(4),$$

which has no primes beyond $5$.

For a Hamming prime $p$,

$$\phi(p)=p-1\in H.$$

Since $h$ and $m$ are coprime,

$$\phi(hm)=\phi(h)\phi(m),$$

still $5$-smooth.

Conversely, every valid $n$ has exactly this form.

Thus:

Every admissible $n$ is uniquely representable as

$$n=h\cdot m,$$

where $h$ is $5$-smooth and $m$ is a squarefree product of distinct Hamming primes $>5$.

2. Reformulating the sum

Let

$P$ = set of Hamming primes $>5$,
$M$ = all squarefree products of distinct primes in $P$.

Then

$$S(L)=\sum_{m\in M};\sum_{\substack{h\in H\ hm\le L}} hm.$$

Factor out $m$:

$$S(L)=\sum_{m\in M} m\cdot \left(\sum_{\substack{h\in H\ h\le L/m}} h\right).$$

So we need:

all $5$-smooth numbers up to $10^{12}$,
all Hamming primes,
all squarefree products of those primes up to $10^{12}$.

The number of $5$-smooth numbers below $10^{12}$ is only $3429$, so the computation is very manageable.

4. Code walkthrough

Generating Hamming numbers

a = 1
while a <= LIMIT:

Iterates over powers of $2$.

b = a
while b <= LIMIT:

Extends by powers of $3$.

c = b
while c <= LIMIT:

Extends by powers of $5$.

Every generated number is exactly

$$2^a3^b5^c.$$

Prefix sums

We precompute:

$$\text{prefix}[i] = \sum_{j < i} h_j,$$

so we can instantly compute

$$\sum_{h\le x} h$$

using binary search.

Hamming primes

For every Hamming number $h$, we test whether

$$h+1$$

is prime.

Those primes satisfy

$$p-1\in H.$$

DFS over squarefree products

The recursion builds all products

$$m = p_1p_2\cdots p_k$$

with distinct Hamming primes.

For each such $m$,

all valid numbers are

$$hm \le LIMIT,$$

where $h$ is $5$-smooth.

Their total contribution is

$$m \sum_{h\le LIMIT/m} h.$$

5. Verification on the sample

For $L=100$, the program gives:

$$S(100)=3728,$$

matching the statement.

6. Final verification

The search space is small:

$3429$ Hamming numbers below $10^{12}$,
$543$ Hamming primes $>5$,
about $2.6$ million squarefree products.

This comfortably fits within efficient computation limits.

The computation modulo $2^{32}$ yields:

$$939087315.$$
