Prove that$(f*u)(n)=log(n)$ for all n where u(n)=1 for all n. ------------ Ok so for this question i have started by saying $(f*u)(n)=\sum_{j|n}f(j)*u(\frac{n}{j})=f(1)*u(p^k) +f(p)*u(p^{k-1})+...f(p^k)*u(1)$ but i don't know how i can go from here since i can not see how i get to the end answer. I was thinking maybe i could various values of d which divide n expressed in the prime factorisation?? Thanks to anyone who can solve this. Last edited by Jaket1; March 17th, 2019 at 09:03 AM.
