Let k and r be fixed integers such that 1 < r < k. It is well-known that a positive integer is called r-free if it is not divisible by the r-th power of any integer > 1. We call a positive integer n, a (k, r)-integer, if n is of the form n = a kb, where a is a positive integer and b is a r-free integer. In the limiting case, when k becomes infinite, a (k, r)-integer becomes a r-free integer and so one might consider the (k, i) integers as generalized r-free integers.
