ILL 1969 Problem 23

$(FRA 6)$ Consider the integer $d = \frac{a^b-1}{c}$, where $a, b$, and $c$ are positive integers and $c \le a.$ Prove that the set $G$ of integers that are between $1$ and $d$ and relatively prime to $d$ (the number of such integers is denoted by $\phi(d)$) can be partitioned into $n$ subsets, each of which consists of $b$ elements. What can be said about the rational number $\frac{\phi(d)}{b}?$
