Erdős problem 50

Schoenberg [Sch38] proved that the asymptotic distribution function of φ(n)/n\varphi(n)/n exists. That is, for any c∈[0,1]c \in [0, 1], the proportion of integers n≤Nn \le N satisfying φ(n)/n<c\varphi(n)/n < c approaches a limit as N→∞N \to \infty. This limit function is the cumulative distribution function of the values of φ(n)/n\varphi(n)/n.

Erdős [Er95] proved that the distribution function of φ(n)/n\varphi(n)/n is purely singular: it is continuous, but its derivative is zero almost everywhere.
