An Achilles number is a positive integer that is a powerful number but not a perfect power. A powerful number is defined as a number \( n \) such that in its prime factorization, every prime number \( p \) appears with an exponent of at least 2. In contrast, a perfect power is a number of the form \( m^k \) where \( m \) and \( k \) are positive integers and \( k \geq 2 \).
