COMMENTS
Perfect powers are in A001597. The function a(n) increases much more slowly than pi(n): e.g., a(1765)=54 and pi(1765)=274. See also A076412.
a(n) >= A000196(n-1). - Robert Israel, Jul 31 2015
This is essentially the same as A069623 which is the main entry, see there for more formulas. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 16 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = n^(1/2) + n^(1/3) + n^(1/5) - n^(1/6) + n^(1/7) - n^(1/10) + O(n^(1/11)). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 14 2015
EXAMPLE
a(9)=3 because there are 3 perfect powers less than 9: 1,4,8.
