We study properties of -free numbers, that is numbers that are not divisible by any member of a set . First we formulate the most-used procedure for finding them (in a given set of integers) as easy-to-apply propositions. Then we use the propositions to consider Diophantine properties of -free numbers and their distribution on almost all short intervals. Results on -free numbers have implications to non-vanishing Fourier coefficients of cusp forms, so this work also gives information about them.
