In number theory, the gcd-sum function,{{cite journal |author=Lászlo Tóth |title=A survey of gcd-sum functions |journal=J. Integer Sequences |volume=13 |year=2010}}
also called Pillai's arithmetical function, is defined for every by

where, is the divisor function, and is the Möbius function.
This multiplicative arithmetical function was introduced by the Indian mathematician Subbayya Sivasankaranarayana Pillai in 1933.{{cite journal |author=S. S. Pillai |title=On an arithmetic function |journal=Annamalai University Journal |volume=II |year=1933 |pages=242–248}}
