    It is known due to the author of the present paper that the natural density of the set of abundant numbers can be expressed as a series of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \sum_{a\in\mathcal{P}}\frac{1}{a}\prod_{p|c(a)}\left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right), NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\mathcal{P}\) is the set of primitive nondeficient numbers and \(c(a)\) is a number whose prime factorization can be found easily, given by prime factorization of \(a\). Generalizing the above result, in this paper the author presents a class of multiplicative functions for which the similar series result holds. As an application, the author considers computations for the function \(n/\varphi(n)\).
