The following results are from the paper Ivan Niven, [The asymptotic density of sequences](http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.bams/1183516304). Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 57(6):420-434, 1951. I changed the notation to denote upper asymptotic density by $\overline d(A)$ and asymptotic density by $d(A)$. (Which seems to be used more frequently nowadays than the notation $\delta_2(A)$ and $\delta(A)$ from that paper.) > For any prime $p$ let $A_p$ denote the subset $A_p=\{n\in A; p\mid n, p^2\nmid n\}$. > > **Theorem 1.** If $\{p_i\}$ is a set of primes such that $\sum\frac1{p_i}=\infty$, then $\overline d(A)\le \sum\overline d(A_{p_i})$ for any $A$. > > **Corollary 1.** If a set of primes $\{p_i\}$ we have $d(A_{p_i})=0$ for every $i$, and if $\sum p_i^{-1}=\infty$ then $d(A)=0$. > > **Corollary 2.** For any fixed $k$, if $\{p_i\}$ is a set of primes such that $\sum\frac1{p_i}=\infty$, and if $A$ is any set whose members are divisible by at most $k$ of these primes to the first degree, then $d(A)=0$. From Corollary 2 it follows that $d(P^{m_0})=0$ for each $m_0$. (In the other words, Corollary 2 implies that the set of all numbers having at most $m_0$ prime factors has density zero. Niven also mentions in connection with this weaker result the paper Willy Feller, Erhard Tornier: [Mengentheoretische Untersuchung von Eigenschaften der Zahlenreihe](http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01448890), Mathematische Annalen 1933, Volume 107, Issue 1, pp 188-232.)
