Identity?: $\frac{\varphi(2^n-1)}{n}=\frac{2^{\varphi(2^n-1)}-1 \bmod (2^n-1)^2}{2^n-1}$
The computer found this.
Let $n$ be a positive integer.
Up to $n=200$ we have:
$$\frac{\varphi(2^n-1)}{n}=\frac{2^{\varphi(2^n-1)}-1 \bmod (2^n-1)^2}{2^n-1}. \tag{1}\label{483144_1}$$

Divisors of n and n + 1
Suppose $a$ is a proper divisor of $n$ (where $n$ is a positive integer), and $b$ a proper divisor of $n + 1$.
Is there a general criterion (or general property of $n$) which enables one to conclude ...
