How can I add simplification rule depending relation between two factors?

Hi, I am trying to make simplification rules for divisor function divsum. 1. divsum(p^n) = (p^(n+1)-1)/(p-1) when p is prime. defrule was great to implement this rule though I was happier if there is a feature of "prime". (example) matchdeclare(pp, primep, nn, lambda([x], (integerp(x) or featurep(x, integer)) and x > 0))$ defrule(sigma_simp1, divsum(pp^nn, 1), (pp^(nn + 1) - 1)/(pp - 1))$ declare(n, integer)$ assume(n > 0)$ sigma_simp1(divsum(3^n)); => (3^(n+1)-1)/2 2. divsum(a*b) = divsum(a)*divsum(b) if a and b are relatively prime. I lost my way for this simplification. Are there any manners to let Maxima check if two variables are relatively prime? Thanks, - Yuji
