Abstract

We show that the fractional parts of the ratios n/ω(n), n/aω(n), n/τ(n) and n/aτ(n), where a ≥ 2 is a fixed integer and, as usual, ω(n) and τ(n) denote the number of prime divisors and the total number of divisors of n > 1, respectively, are uniformly distributed in the unit interval [0, 1]. This complements results of several authors about the scarcity of integral values taken by the above fractions.


Keywords

sequence, fractional part, divisor, prime divisor, uniform distribution.
