Abstract

We consider the distribution of the divisors of n among the reduced residue classes (mod k), and establish mean-value theorems for the variance of this distribution. A result to the effect that for almost all n < x this distribution is very even, provided k is not too large compared with x, is derived; this is similar to but more precise than a theorem of Erdös, and is thus a new proof of his result.
