Abstract

We prove an Erd\H{o}s-Kac type of theorem for the set S(x,y)={nx:pnpy}S(x,y)=\{n\leq x: p|n \Rightarrow p\leq y \}. If ω(n)\omega (n) is the number of prime factors of nn, we prove that the distribution of ω(n)\omega(n) for nS(x,y)n \in S(x,y) is Gaussian for a certain range of yy using method of moments. The advantage of the present approach is that it recovers classical results for the range u=o(loglogx)u=o(\log \log x ) where u=logxlogyu=\frac{\log x}{\log y}, with a much simpler proof.
