α constant that is in the expression for Fermi, Boltzmann and Bose distribution depends od number of particles in the system at the given temperature. Originally, α constant was derived from the Boltzmann distribution and the condition of normalization. In that α = 1 k T . But that is the case of a distribution of a single particle. In order to generalise for n particles α = n k T .
Because of that we can conclude that it depends on the number of particles at some given temperature. In the case of Bose distribution, it also depends on the number of bosons in the system, same goes for Fermi distribution.
