where 6(ri) is the number of primes a^n. Other special results were cited under 155, Ch. V; 6, Ch. XI; 217, Ch. XVIII.
E. Cesaro560 treated 2/(6) in connection with median and asymptotic formulas.
Bougaief57 treated numerical integrals, noting formulas like
2^T
where ^(n) is the number of prime factors a, &, . . . of n — aab0. . .,
S t(d) = S ^(d)+ S ^(aad) = S ^(ad)+ S \f/(d).

Bougaief68 gave a large number of formulas of the type
where, on the left, d ranges over all the divisors of m; while, on the right, d ranges over those divisors of m which do not exceed n, [n/2], . . . , respectively. Bougaief59 gave the relation
d\n
where p ranges over all primes ^ Vn, and ^(m, ri) is the sum of the fcth powers of all divisors ^m of n, so that £0 is their number, and B(t) is the number of primes ^t.
L. Gegenbauer60 noted that the preceding result is a case of
X=1               X-l
where c?x ranges over the divisors ^X of n.   Special cases are
(a», n), where |p (w, n) is the sum of the pth powers of the divisors ^ w of n.
