Abstract:  We use the estimation of the number of integers $n$ such that $\lfloor n^c \rfloor$ belongs to an arithmetic progression to study the coprimality of integers in $\mathbb{N}^c=\{ \lfloor n^c \rfloor\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $c>1$, $c\notin\mathbb{N}$.
Keywords:  greatest common divisor; natural density; Piatetski-Shapiro sequence
