Erdős Problem 417: I

LetV(x)=#{ϕ(m):1mx}V'(x)=\#\{\phi(m) : 1\leq m\leq x\}andV(x)=#{ϕ(m)x:1m}.V(x)=\#\{\phi(m) \leq x : 1\leq m\}. Does limV(x)/V(x)\lim V(x)/V'(x) exist?

Mathematical statement

LetV(x)=#{ϕ(m):1mx}V'(x)=\#\{\phi(m) : 1\leq m\leq x\}andV(x)=#{ϕ(m)x:1m}.V(x)=\#\{\phi(m) \leq x : 1\leq m\}. Does limV(x)/V(x)\lim V(x)/V'(x) exist?

Formalization note: We formalize the limit of the inverse fraction V'(x)/V(x) to ensure the limit is finite (bounded between 0 and 1).

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
