How can I set a condition so that my number x has no factors that are perfect squares?

Ok. Your example will work if I need to create a number with no perfect square factors but it doesn't answer my question.
My problem generates a number as a function of other variables. But I don't know beforehand what the generated value will be. I need to check whether or not my generated value has perfect square factors. I tried a condition like... isrelprime(x,4) and isrelprime(x,9) and isrelprime(x,16) and isrelprime(x,25) etc up to my maximum expected value. Couldn't get it to work though. Any other ideas? |

Can you try working backwards? In other words, try creating the number so that it will have only prime factors.

"I tried a condition like... isrelprime(x,4) and isrelprime(x,9) and isrelprime(x,16) and isrelprime(x,25) etc up to my maximum expected value. Couldn't get it to work though." would it work if your condition was isrelprime(x,4) OR isrelprime(x,9) OR isrelprime(x,16) OR isrelprime(x,25) etc ? |

Try using this:
Question: Is var1 relatively prime? Answer: correct Definitions: var1 range(4,16) correct if((var1 MOD 4)=0,"Contains factor",if((var1 MOD 9)=0,"Contains factor",if((var1 MOD 16)=0,"Contains factor","Relatively Prime"))) |
