Add more solutions and minor improvements
Added solutions for problem 66, 67, 68, 69 and 70 in C and python.
Also, minor improvements to the code for a few older problems.

# Euler's Totient function, φ(n) [sometimes called the phi function], is used to determine the number of numbers less than n which are
# relatively prime to n. For example, as 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8, are all less than nine and relatively prime to nine, φ(9)=6.
#
# n Relatively Prime φ(n) n/φ(n)
# 2 1 1 2
# 3 1,2 2 1.5
# 4 1,3 2 2
# 5 1,2,3,4 4 1.25
# 6 1,5 2 3
# 7 1,2,3,4,5,6 6 1.1666...
# 8 1,3,5,7 4 2
# 9 1,2,4,5,7,8 6 1.5
# 10 1,3,7,9 4 2.5

# It can be seen that n=6 produces a maximum n/φ(n) for n ≤ 10.
#
# Find the value of n ≤ 1,000,000 for which n/φ(n) is a maximum.

# Using Euler's formula, phi(n)=n*prod(1-1/p), where p are the distinct
# primes that divide n. So n/phi(n)=1/prod(1-1/p). To find the maximum
# value of this function, the denominator must be minimized. This happens
# when n has the most distinct small prime factor, i.e. to find the solution
# we need to multiply the smallest consecutive primes until the result is
