Mean value estimates of gcd and lcm-sums

We study the distribution of the generalized gcd and lcm functions on average. The generalized gcd function, denoted by $(m,n)_b$, is the largest $b$-th power divisor common to $m$ and $n$. Likewise, the generalized lcm function, denoted by $[m,n]_b$, is the smallest $b$-th power multiple common to $m$ and $n$. We derive asymptotic formulas for the average order of the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of $(m,n)_b$. Additionally, we also deduce asymptotic formulas with error terms for the means of $(n_1,n_2,\cdots, n_k)_b$, and $[n_1,n_2,\cdots, n_k]_b$ over a set of lattice points, thereby generalizing some of the previous work on gcd and lcm-sum estimates.
