%N Decimal expansion of the asymptotic probability that the p-adic valuations of two positive integers selected independently at random are coprime for every prime p dividing both integers.

%C Equivalently, the asymptotic probability that the greatest common (1+e)-divisor of two positive integers selected independently at random is squarefree (see A049599 for the definition of a (1+e)-divisor).

%F Equals Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^2 + (1 - 1/p)^2 * Sum_{k>=1} mu(k)/(p^k-1)^2), where mu is the Moebius function.
