Integrating galactic stellar mass against a x−7/4e−x​ mass function requires ∫0∞​x−3/4e−x​dx. Substitution u=x​ turns it into 2Γ(1/2)=2π​. Thus the stellar density is 2π​ times characteristic number density times characteristic galactic stellar mass, in the same volume convention as the mass function.
