In number theory, Niven's constant, named after Ivan Niven, is the largest exponent appearing in the prime factorization of any natural number ''n'' "on average". More precisely, if we define ''H''(1) = 1 and ''H''(''n'') = the largest exponent appearing in the unique prime factorization of a natural number ''n'' > 1, then Niven's constant is given by : where ζ(''k'') is the value of the Riemann zeta function at the point ''k'' (Niven, 1969). In the same paper Niven also proved that : where ''h''(1) = 1, ''h''(''n'') = the smallest exponent appearing in the unique prime factorization of each natural number ''n'' > 1, ''o'' is little o notation, and the constant ''c'' is given by : and consequently that : ==References== * * Steven R.
