The Dirichlet convolution of arithmetic functions f and g is
(f∗g)(n)=∑d∣n​f(d)g(n/d).
(1)
It is associative and commutative, its identity is the function supported at 1, and the Möbius function is the convolution inverse of the constant-one function.

Dirichlet convolution
The Dirichlet hyperbola method evaluates a summatory Dirichlet convolution by splitting the lattice points ab≤x at a,b≤x​. For the divisor function,
∑n≤x​τ(n)=2∑a≤x​​⌊ax​⌋−⌊x​⌋2.
