    Erdős Problem #389: declared status 'open'. Formalized: yes. Is it true that for every n1n\geq 1 there is a kk such thatn(n+1)(n+k1)(n+k)(n+2k1)?n(n+1)\cdots(n+k-1)\mid (n+k)\cdots (n+2k-1)? Current best: For example when n=2n=2 we have k=5k=5:2×3×4×5×67×8×9×10×11.2\times 3 \times 4 \times 5\times 6 \mid 7 \times 8 \times 9\times 10\times 11.and when n=3n=3 we have k=4k=4:3×4×5×67×8×9×10.3\times 4\times 5\times 6 \mid 7\times 8\times 9\times 10.Bhavik Mehta has computed the minimal such kk for 1n181\leq n\leq 18 (now available as A375071 on the OEIS). Prize: no. OEIS: A375071. Tags: number theory.
