Erdős Problem #451

partialconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as partial. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Let $n_k$ be the least integer greater than $2k$ for which $\prod_{i=1}^k (n_k - i)$ has no prime factor in $(k, 2k)$. How rapidly must $n_k$ grow?

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
