COMMENTS

An alternate definition specifying "less than 10^n" would yield the same sequence except for the first 3 terms: 0, 8, 84, 833, 8319, etc. (since powers of 10 beyond 1000 are not cubefree anyhow).

The limit of a(n)/10^n is the inverse of Apery's constant, 1/zeta(3), whose digits are given by A088453.

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum for i=1 to 10^(n/3) of A008683(i)*floor(10^n/i^3)

EXAMPLE

a(0)=1 because 1 <= 10^0 is not a multiple of the cube of a prime.

a(1)=9 because the 9 numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10 are cubefree; 8 is not.

a(2)=85 because there are 85 cubefree integers equal to 100 or less.

a(3)=833 because there are 833 cubefree integers below 1000 (which is not cube-free itself).
