Abstract
Let be the integral part of the real number .The aim of this short note is to study the distribution of elements of the set in the arithmetical progression .Our result is as follows: the asymptotic formula\begin{equation}\label{YW:result}S(x; q, a):= \sum_{\substack{m\in \mathcal{S}(x)\\ m\equiv a ({\rm mod}\,q)}} 1 = \frac{2\sqrt{x}}{q} + O((x/q)^{1/3}\log x)\end{equation}holds uniformly for , and ,where the implied constant is absolute.The special case of \eqref{YW:result} with fixed and confirms a recent numeric test of Heyman.
