As a first application, let us prove an elementary property of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$ and, using this property, an elementary result concerning prime numbers and factorials.
Proposition: Natural Logarithm Sum of von Mangoldt Function Over Divisors
For every $n\in\mathbb N,$ $n > 0,$ the sum of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$ over all divisors equals the natural logarithm of $n,$ formally
$$\sum_{d\mid n}\Lambda(d)=\log(n).\quad\quad ( * )$$
