Abstract

In 1917, G.H.Hardy and S.Ramanujan proved that the `typical' number of prime factors of a positive integer $n$ is approximately $\ln\ln n$. In this technical paper we proffer a complete exposition of this proof, and further provide novel approaches based on probabalistic techniques in order to extract number theoretic results. Using elementary methods in probability theory, we expand on current methods to prove a substantially sharper distributional result than in current literature. We conclude the paper with an original proof of the Hardy-Ramanujan theorem.
