Throughout this paper the arithmetic functions L(n) and w(n) denote respectively the number and product of the distinct prime divisors of the integer n > 1, with L(1) = 0 and w(1) = 1. Also let

We recall that an arithmetic function f(n) is said to be multiplicative if f(1) = 1 and f(mn) = f(m)f(n) whenever (m, n) = 1, where (m, n) denotes as usual the greatest common divisor of m and n.
