Erdős Problem #390 — Let f(n)f(n) be the minimal mm such that n!=a1⋯akn! = a_1\cdots a_k with n<a1<⋯<ak=mn< a_1<\cdots <a_k=m.

Let f(n)f(n) be the minimal mm such that n!=a1⋯akn! = a_1\cdots a_k with n<a1<⋯<ak=mn< a_1<\cdots <a_k=m. Is there (and what is it) a constant cc such that f(n)−2n∼cnlog⁡n?f(n)-2n \sim c\frac{n}{\log n}?
