Squareful

A number is squareful, also called Nonsquarefree, if it contains at least one Square in its prime factorization. Such a number is also called Squareful. The first few are 4, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 25, ... (Sloane's A013929). The greatest multiple prime factors for the squareful integers are 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 5, 3, 2, 2, 3, ... (Sloane's A046028). The least multiple prime factors for squareful integers are 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, ... (Sloane's A046027).
