Numbers n such that no smaller number m satisfies: kronecker(n,k)=kronecker(m,k) for all k. - Michael Somos, Sep 22 2005

The asymptotic density of cubefree integers is the reciprocal of Apery's constant 1/zeta(3) = A088453. - Gerard P. Michon, May 06 2009

The Schnirelmann density of the cubefree numbers is 157/189 (Orr, 1969). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 12 2021

From Amiram Eldar, Feb 26 2024: (Start)

Numbers whose sets of unitary divisors (A077610) and bi-unitary divisors (A222266) coincide.

Number whose all divisors are (1+e)-divisors, or equivalently, numbers k such that A049599(k) = A000005(k). (End)
