Erdős's conjecture on three consecutive powerful numbers
Erdős's conjecture on three consecutive powerful numbers
A positive integer is powerful if every prime divisor satisfies . For an integer , the three consecutive integers are , , and . Erdős's conjecture. There is no integer such that all three of , , and are powerful.
This folklore conjecture is attributed to Erdős and was later reiterated by Mollin, Walsh, and Granville. It remains unproved, although it follows from the -conjecture.
