Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics describes a dilute classical gas whose single-particle occupation factors have the displayed exponential form. It is the low-occupation classical limit of Bose--Einstein and Fermi--Dirac statistics. Integrating this factor over momentum gives the nonrelativistic Maxwell--Boltzmann number density when the particle energy is $m{c}^2+p^2/(2m)$.
