Abstract. We obtain an approximate form of gluon momentum density $G(x, Q^2)$ from next to leading order (NLO) GLAP equation at low $x$, with a factorization ansatz recently reported and test its validity by comparing it with that of Glück, Reya and Vogt (GRV-HO) which has no such additional assumption. Using Prytz's approximate method, we calculate $dF_2/d\log Q^2$ using LO and NLO forms of gluon density. Limitation of the present formalism is critically discussed and approximate factorizability zone in ($x-Q^2$) plane is indicated.
