Minimum $k$ for which every positive integer of the interval $(kn, (k+1)n)$ is divisible by at least one prime number less than $n$

As a continuation of this question relating the Minimum $k$ for which every positive integer of the interval $(kn, (k+1)n)$ is composite and this other one on the divisibility of numbers in intervals ...

Divisibility of numbers in intervals of the form $[kn,(k+1)n]$ [duplicate]

I have checked that the following conjecture seems to be true: There exists no interval of the form $[kn, (k+1)n]$ where each of the integers of the interval is divisible by at least one of the ...

Conjecture: $\prod\limits_{k=0}^{n}\binom{2n}{k}$ is divisible by $\prod\limits_{k=0}^n\binom{2k}{k}$ only if $n=1,2,5$.

The diagram shows Pascal's triangle down to row $10$. I noticed that the product of the blue numbers is divisible by the product of the orange numbers. That is (including the bottom centre number $...

Is there any algorithm better than trial division to factor huge numbers?

Suppose , we want to find prime factors of a huge number $N$ , say $N=3^{3^{3^3}}+2$. We can assume that we can find easily $N\mod p$ for some positive integer $p$ (as it is the case in the example) , ...

How to get the smallest $n$ that $n^n$ is divisible by $m$.

I have to calculate an integer $n$ when an integer $m$ is given, that $n^n$ is divisible by $m$. And the thing is, $n$ is the smallest number that satisfies this condition. Please help me how can I ...

Given a partial prime factorization of $N$ consisting of all primes $p \leq \sqrt{N}$ that divide $N$, how do I find the rest of the factorization?

Given an integer $N$, let $P$ be the set of all primes less than or equal to $\sqrt{N}$ that divide $N$. Define $P_{prod}$ as $\prod_{p \in P} f_N(p)$ where $f_N(p) \gt 1$ is the largest power of $p$ ...

Non-squarefree numbers of the form $10^n + 1$

Consider numbers of the form $10^k + 1$. We can look at the prime factorisation of these numbers and note that the smallest such number that has a repeated prime factor is $10^{11} + 1 = 11^2\cdot{}23\...

Subset of natural numbers with largest amount of divisors

Let $n, k \in \mathbb{N}$, with $k \le n$. Which $k$ natural numbers not greater than $n$ have the largest amount of divisors altogether? Formally, let $D(x)$ be the set of positive divisors of some $...

If $p$ can divide $a^n+b^n+c^n$ , can $p^k$ divide it as well?

Related to this Is there a method to decide whether a given function of the form $f(n)=a^n+b^n+c^n$ ($a,b,c$ fixed positive integers , $n$ running over the positive integers) satisfies the following ...

How do we get the number of prime divisors?

We have a natural square-free number $n$ such that $2^5\cdot 3^6\cdot 5^4\equiv 0 \pmod {\tau(n)}$. Which is the maximum number of different primes that can divide $n$ ? $$$$ We have that $\tau(n)$ is ...

Are there infinite many primes $\ p\ $ that cannot divide $\ 3^n+5^n+7^n\ $?

Let $\ M\ $ be the set of the prime numbers $\ p\ $ such that $\ p\nmid 3^n+5^n+7^n\ $ for every positive integer $\ n\ $ , in short the set of the prime numbers that cannot divide $\ 3^n+5^n+7^n\ $. ...

Is $\frac{3^n+5^n+7^n}{15}$ only prime if $n$ is prime?

Let $f(n)=3^n+5^n+7^n$ It is easy to show that $\ 15\mid f(n)\ $ if and only if $\ n\ $ is odd. I searched for prime numbers of the form $g(n):=\frac{3^n+5^n+7^n}{15}$ with odd $n$ and found the ...

How to understand special prime factorization method

Normally when we want to find the Prime Factorization of a number, we will keep dividing that number by the smallest prime number (2), until it can't be divided then we move on to the next prime ...

Divisibility property involving binomial coefficients and largest prime power divisor [duplicate]

Let $p$ be a prime, let $x$ be an integer not divisible by $p$, and let $j\geq 1$. Denote, as usual, by $\nu=\nu_p(j+1)$ the largest exponent such that $p^{\nu}$ divides $j+1$. My question : is it ...
