In this paper, the cyclotomic polynomial is generalized and several of its properties based on the Môbius inversion are derived. It is deduced that a polynomial whose roots are the roots of a cyclotomic polynomial multiplied by those of another cyclotomic polynomial is the product of cyclotomic polynomials. Character sums and finite Fourier series are employed for the latter result.
