A positive integer n is called y-smooth, if its largest prime factor P + ( n ) is at most y. Smooth numbers are widely recognized as playing a pivotal role in analytic number theory, and the study of their distribution constitutes a core focus in relevant research. On the other hand, Bordellès, Dai, Heyman, Pan, and Shparlinski first studied the primes of the form x n , and later, a paper written by Bordellès, Dai, Heyman, and Nikolic concentrated on studying primes of the form x n c . Combining the two lines of research, in this paper we studied the smooth number of the form x n and x n c , where t denoted the integral part of a real number t. Clearly, studies concerning the distribution of smooth numbers play an important role in number theory, which makes our studies valuable and rather interesting.
