The divisor density of an integer sequence is defined: this measures the tendency of divisors of (almost all) integers to belong to the sequence. A proof of a conjecture of Erdös is given and this is linked to some previous conjectures of the author's concerning distribution (mod 1) of functions of the divisors.
