    Biquadratefree

    Definition

    A number is said to be biquadratefree (or quarticfree) if its prime factorization contains no quadrupled factors. All primes and prime powers p^n with n<=3 are therefore trivially biquadratefree. The biquadratefree numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, ... (OEIS A046100). The biquadrateful numbers (i.e., those that contain at least one biquadrate) are 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 81, 96, ... (OEIS A046101). The number of biquadratefree numbers less than 10, 100, 1000, ... are 10, 93, 925, 9240, 92395, 923939, ..., and their asymptotic density is 1/ζ(4) = 90/π^4≈0.923938, where ζ(n) is the Riemann zeta function.
