For a prime power $q$, $\F$ denotes the finite field of order $q$, and for $m\geq 2$, $\Fm$ denotes the extension field of degree $m$. We establish a characteristic function for the set of $(r,\, n)$-free elements of finite cyclic $R$-module for the Euclidean domain $R$. Furthermore, we explore $(f,\, g)$-freeness through polynomial values and finally give an expression for the characteristic function for the set of $(f,\, g)$-free elements.
