    The authors solve an exercise in the reviewer's book [Fourier Analysis on Finite Groups and Applications, Cambridge (1999; Zbl 0928.43001), p. 297] by finding the irreducible representations of the group of all \(3\times 3\) upper triangular matrices with one's on the diagonal and entries in the ring \(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\) of integers \(\operatorname {mod} n\). They compare their results with Kirillov's orbit theory and go on to obtain an identity involving sums of powers of greatest common divisors.
