Möbius divisor-sum identity

ID: mobius-divisor-sum-identity

For , expand over the subsets of its distinct prime divisors. The coefficient of a squarefree divisor is its Möbius function value; nonsquarefree divisors have value zero. At the empty product is one. This identity is the multiplicative cancellation behind Möbius inversion and reciprocal Dirichlet series.
