Arithmetic function f is a function where domain is a set of positive integer and range is a subset of complex number.
i.e. f : Z+ → C
Also known as number theoretic functions.
𝜏(n) : Number of positive divisors of n, n∈ N
σ(n) : Sum of all positive divisors of n, n∈ N
σK(n): Sum of K th power of all positive divisors of n, K, n ∈ N
π(n) : Number of primes ≤ n , n∈ N
ω(n) : Number of distinct prime factor of n, n ∈ N
Ω(n) :Total number of prime factors of n, n&isin N.
