Myerson} proved [J. Number Theory 48, 80-87 (1994; Zbl 0810.11001)] that the quotient \\(f(n)\\) of the number \\(P(n)/(P(n/2)P(n/3)P(n/7)P(n/43)\\dots)\\), where each term in the sequence \\(2,3,7,43,\\dots\\) is one greater than the product of all the preceding terms, by \\(L(n)\\) is an integer. Motivated by some question raised by the first author it is proved in the paper that \\(\\log f(n)\\sim cn\\) with explicitly given \\(c\\). The authors also show that there are 135 values of \\(n\\) for which \\(f(n)\\) is odd, and that for every positive integer \\(m\\) we have  \\[ \\#\\{n<x:m\\nmid f(n)\\}=o(x). \\]  Properties of the sequence \\(2,3,7,43,1807,\\dots,b^2_k-b_k+1,\\dots\\) and a related function \\(g(x)=\\lfloor x\\rfloor -\\sum_k \\lfloor x/b_k\\rfloor -1\\) are also investigated."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-07-07T14:02:59Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
