The only conclusion I was able to reach is that for any query L, R, a and b, let g be the gcd of a, b. Then
But it is just an optimization of bruteforce.
Since $$$max(a, b) \le 10^3$$$, an optimization can be to build segment tree over the array, the nodes of which, will contain $$$10^3$$$ values, each corresponding to the required range sum as the gcd varies from $$$1$$$ to $$$1000$$$.
Update is $$$O(M \cdot \log N)$$$ and query is $$$O(\log N)$$$ with $$$O(N \cdot M)$$$ memory, where $$$M = max(a, b)$$$.
Since $$$M \le 10^3$$$, this could probably be fit into TL depending on how much it is.
