Let \( f: \mathbb{Z}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+ \) be a function such that for all positive integers \( m \) and \( n \) with \( m \ge n \), the following holds: \[ f(m \varphi(n^3)) = f(m) \cdot \varphi(n^3), \] where \( \varphi(n) \) denotes the Euler's totient function, which counts the number of positive integers ...
f(m) = km \text{ for any positive integer constant } k.

Find all the pairs of prime numbers $ (p,q)$ such that $ pq|5^p\plus{}5^q.$
To find all pairs of prime numbers \((p, q)\) such that \(pq \mid 5^p + 5^q\), we consider several cases: 1. **Case 1: Either \(p\) or \(q\) is 2.** - Assume \(p = 2\). Then \(2q \mid 5^2 + 5^q\). - This simplifies to \(2q \mid 25 + 5^q\). - Since \(25 \equiv 1 \pmod{2}\), we have \(5^q + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{q}...
