We know that by Dirichlet's formula for the Divisor function $ \displaystyle \sum\limits_{n \leq x} d(n) = x \log{x} + (2C-1)x + \mathcal{O}(\sqrt{x})$.

What is the best approximation available till date for the given formula. I know that finding the infimum of the $\mathcal{O}'s$ is an unsolved problem, but would like to see the closest approximation.

    $\begingroup$ I don't know why should it stay open in this wrong form. ;-) BTW, all question lovers are advised to first visit the OEIS and Wikipedia, before posting their questions. You obviously missed this standard procedure... $\endgroup$ Aug 2, 2010 at 10:45
