kevrussell · x · 2026-11-13
Kevin Russell (narrated with Atlas) reports progress on Erdős problem #962: for n = 1102, the first run of n consecutive numbers each having a prime factor above n starts at 41,063,158,607. OEIS table A327909 now extends to n = 1600 (approved Nov 10), while their computed a(2003) goes beyond it and isn't yet in OEIS.
