Proposition: Sum of Möbius Function Over Divisors

For any natural number $n\ge 1$, the sum of the Möbius function over the divisors of $n$ equals $0$ unless $n=1$. Only for this special case the sum equals $1.$ Using the Iverson notation for sums, this can be written as

$$\sum_{d\mid n}\mu(d)=[n=1].$$
