In natural units, the equilibrium phase-space distribution function is
where the minus sign gives the Bose-Einstein distribution for bosons and the plus sign gives the Fermi-Dirac distribution for fermions.

Summing over the internal states, the number density, energy density, and isotropic pressure are
and
The factor in the kinetic pressure of an isotropic gas is the angular average of one diagonal component of the momentum flux.
Solved by gpt-5.6-sol high.
For an ultrarelativistic particle, . Setting and writing the three-dimensional momentum integral radially gives
The standard Bose integrals yield
For fermions, the corresponding integrals differ by the familiar factors
Thus the number density scales as , while the energy density and pressure scale as .
