SUMMARY
The union of prime numbers and integers that are not powers of integers is identified as the set of "not perfect powers." This set includes prime numbers such as 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11, along with integers like 6, 10, and 12, while excluding numbers like 2^n, 3^n, and 6^n. The discussion highlights that prime numbers form a subset of this broader set, emphasizing the mathematical relationship between these two categories. The exploration of contexts where this set appears reveals its relevance in number theory.
