The asymptotic number of [square-free numbers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-free_integer#Distribution) $\le n$ is $Q(n) = 6n/\pi^2 + O(\sqrt{n})$. Because [$\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RiemannZetaFunctionZeta2.html), $Q(n) \approx n/\zeta(2)$. [OEIS A004709](http://oeis.org/A004709) says that cube-free numbers have asymptotic density of $1/\zeta(3)$, "the reciprocal of [Apery's constant](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AperysConstant.html)" ("the probability that three randomly chosen integers are relatively prime": [link here](http://oeis.org/A088453)). > ***Q***. Are there analogous results or conjectures for $k^{\textrm{th}}$-power-free numbers?, $k>3$? Does the density continue to $1/\zeta(k)$? Is that conjectured or proven or disproven? I ask this in (obvious) number-theoretic naiveté. <hr /> **Answered** by Gjergji Zaimi and Douglas Zare: the density indeed grows as $1/\zeta(k)$, and this has been established.
