Let $S = \{2, 3, 4, \dots\}$ be the set of positive integers greater than 1. Find all functions $f : S \to S$ that satisfy
\[
\text{gcd}(a, f(b)) \cdot \text{lcm}(f(a), b) = f(ab)
\]
for all pairs of integers $a, b \in S$.
Clarification: $\text{gcd}(a,b)$ is the greatest common divisor of $a$ and $b$, and $\text{lcm}(a,b)$ is the least common multiple of $a$ and $b$.

Function $f: R\to R$ is said periodic , if $f$ is not a constant function and there is a number real positive $p$ with the property of $f (x) = f (x + p)$ for every $x \in R$. The smallest positive real number p which satisfies the condition $f (x) = f (x + p)$ for each $x \in R$ is named period of $f$. Given $a$ and $b$ real positive numbers, show that there are periodic functions $f_1$ and $f_2$, with periods $a$ and $b$ respectively, so that $f_1 (x)\cdot f_2 (x)$ is also a periodic function.
