Problem #72 hard

Counting Fractions

Consider the fraction, $\dfrac n d$ , where $n$ and $d$ are positive integers. If $n \lt d$ and $\operatorname{HCF}(n,d)=1$ , it is called a reduced proper fraction.

If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for $d \le 8$ in ascending order of size, we get: $\frac 1 8, \frac 1 7, \frac 1 6, \frac 1 5, \frac 1 4, \frac 2 7, \frac 1 3, \frac 3 8, \frac 2 5, \frac 3 7, \frac 1 2, \frac 4 7, \frac 3 5, \frac 5 8, \frac 2 3, \frac 5 7, \frac 3 4, \frac 4 5, \frac 5 6, \frac 6 7, \frac 7 8$

It can be seen that there are $21$ elements in this set.

How many elements would be contained in the set of reduced proper fractions for $d \le 1\,000\,000$ ?
