Prove that phi (7n) = 7phi (n) iff n is multiple of 7 Please, help. I stuck at the part phi (7n) = 7 phi (n), then n is multiple of 7

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

phi (7n) = 7 phi (n), then n is multiple of 7 (proof by contradiction) suppose \(7\nmid n\), this means \(\gcd(n,7)=1\). since \(\phi\) is a multiplicative function, from the given equation it follows \[\phi(7n)=7\phi(n)\\~\\\phi(7)\phi(n)=7\phi(n)\\~\\6=7\] Contradiction, ending the proof.
