Streszczenie
A positive integer $n$ is called $\varphi$-practical if the polynomial $X^n-1$ has a divisor in $\mathbb Z[X]$ of every degree up to $n$. We show that the count of $\varphi$-practical numbers in $[1, x]$ is asymptotic to $C x/\!\log x$ for some positive constant $C$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$.
