Let f(x) be an increasing function. Recently there have been several papers which proved that under fairly general conditions on f(x) the density of integers n for which (n, f(n)) = 1 is 6/π2 and that (d(n) denotes the number of divisors of n)

In particular both of these results hold if f(x) = xα, 0 < α < 1 and the first holds if f(x) = [α x], α irrational.
