Everything about Square-free integer

Number without repeated prime factors

In mathematics, a square-free integer (or squarefree integer) is an integer that is divisible by no square number other than 1. That is, its prime factorization has exactly one factor for each prime that appears in it. For example, 10 = 2 ⋅ 5 is square-free, but 18 = 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 3 is not, because 18 is divisible by 9 = 32. The smallest positive square-free numbers are Wikipedia →
