  Recently, there has been some interest in values of arithmetical functions on
members of special sequences, such as Euler's totient function $\phi$ on
factorials, linear recurrences, etc. In this article, we investigate, for given
positive integers $a$ and $b$, the least positive integer $c=c(a,b)$ such that
the quotient $\phi(c!)/\phi(a!)\phi(b!)$ is an integer. We derive results on
the limit of the ratio $c(a,b)/(a+b)$ as $a$ and $b$ tend to infinity.
Furthermore, we show that $c(a,b)>a+b$ for all pairs of positive integers
$(a,b)$ with an exception of a set of density zero.
