Three tested IMFs in the range between 0.09 and 120 M normalized. The blue solid line is for Salpeter IMF, the red thick dashed line is for Kroupa-Haywood, and the green thin dashed line is for Haywood-Robin. We note how for a fix total amount of mass, Salpeter IMF is the IMF that generates less stars in the interval 0.5 to 6 M, but more stars at M > 6 M and at M < 0.5 M
