%N Biquadratefree powerful numbers: numbers whose exponents in their prime factorization are either 2 or 3.

%C Equivalently, numbers k such that if a prime p divides k then p^2 divides k but p^4 does not divide k.

%C Each term has a unique representation as a^2 * b^3, where a and b are coprime squarefree numbers.

%C Dehkordi (1998) refers to these numbers as "2-full and 4-free numbers".

%F The number of terms not exceeding x is asymptotically (zeta(3/2)/zeta(3)) * J_2(1/2) * x^(1/2) + (zeta(2/3)/zeta(2)) * J_2(1/3) * x^(1/3), where J_2(s) = Product_{p prime} (1 - p^(-4*s) - p^(-5*s) - p^(-6*s) + p^(-7*s) + p^(-8*s)) (Dehkordi, 1998).

%F Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Product_{p prime} (1 + 1/p^2 + 1/p^3) = 1.748932... (A330595).

%e 4 = 2^2 is a term since the exponent of its only prime factor is 2.

%e 72 = 2^3 * 3^2 is a terms since the exponents of the primes in its prime factorization are 2 and 3.
