Abstract
Let k be a positive integer and g(k) be the least integer n > k + 1 such th at all prime factors of((n)(k)) are >k. We prove that g(k) greater than or equal to exp (c log(2) k), where c is an absolute positive constant. We also establish a new theorem o n the distribution of fractional parts of a smooth function.
