Abstract

In this note, we show that if we write ⌊en!⌋ = s(n)u(n) 2, where s(n) is square-free then S(N)=∏n≤NS(n) has at least C log log N distinct prime factors for some absolute constant C > 0 and sufficiently large N. A similar result is obtained for the total number of distinct primes dividing the with power-free part of s(n) as n ranges from 1 to N, where m > 3 is a positive integer. As an application of such results, we give an upper bound on the number of n < N such that ⌊en!⌋ is a square.
