In arithmetic, an n-smooth number, where n is a given prime number, is mathematically defined as a positive integer that has no prime factors greater than n. For example, 42 is 7-smooth because all its prime factors are less than or equal to 7, but 44 is not 7-smooth because it also has 11 as a prime factor.

Define a pretty smooth number as a number with no prime factors greater than its own square root. Thus, the list of pretty smooth numbers can be formulated as follows:

  • (EDITED!) 1 is a pretty smooth number, due to its complete lack of any prime factors. (Note that in the original version of this question, 1 was erroneously excluded from the list, so if you exclude it from your outputs you won't be marked wrong.)
  • Between 4 (= 22) and 8, the pretty smooth numbers are 2-smooth, meaning they have 2 as their only prime factor.
  • Between 9 (= 32) and 24, the pretty smooth numbers are 3-smooth, and can have 2s and 3s in their prime factorizations.
  • Between 25 (= 52) and 48, the pretty smooth numbers are 5-smooth, and can have 2s, 3s, and 5s in their prime factorizations.
  • And so on, upgrading the criteria every time the square of the next prime number is reached.

The list of pretty smooth numbers is fixed, and begins as follows: 1, 4, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 25, ...

Your challenge is to write code that will output all pretty smooth numbers up to and including 10,000 (= 1002). There must be at least one separator (it doesn't matter what kind -- space, comma, newline, anything) between each number in the list and the next, but it is completely irrelevant what character is used.

As per usual, lowest byte count wins -- obviously, simply outputting the list isn't going to be too beneficial to you here. Good luck!

    \$\begingroup\$ @viraptor It is voted as not clear not because it wasn't stated that 1 is not smooth, but because your definition and your exclusion statement contradict each other. \$\endgroup\$

r=[1..10^4]
[n|n<-r,product[x|x<-r,x*x<=n]^n`mod`n<1]

I don't have time to golf this now, but I want to illustrate a method for testing if n is pretty smooth: Multiply the numbers from 1 to sqrt(n) (i.e. compute a factorial), raise the product to a high power, and check if the result is a multiple of n.

Change to r=[2..10^4] if 1 should not be output.

Matlab, 58 57 56 52 48 bytes

for k=1:1e4
if factor(k).^2<=k
disp‌​(k)
end
end

For each number it checks if all factors squared are not larger than the number itself. If yes, displays that number.

Thanks to @Luis Mendo for golfing this approach


Another approach (50 bytes):

n=1:10^4;for k=n
z(k)=max(factor(k))^2>k;end
n(~z)

For each number computes whether its maximum prime factor squared is less than the number itself. Then uses it for indexing.

Include the pre-processor in the compilation chain when calling eg:
