  • Let $φ(n)$ denote the Euler totient function. In this paper, we first establish a new upper bound for $n/φ(n)$ involving $K(n)$, the function that counts the number of primorials not exceeding $n$. In particular, this leads to an answer to a question raised by Aoudjit, Berkane, and Dusart concerning an upper bound for the sum-of-divisors function $σ(n)$. Furthermore, we give some lower bounds for $N_k/φ(N_k)$ as well as for $σ(N_k)/N_k$, where $N_k$ denotes the $k$th primorial.
