back to reviewErdős Problem #678 has status 'proved (lean)'. Statement: Write $M(n, k)$ be the least common multiple of $\{n+1, \dotsc, n+k\}$. Let $k$ be sufficiently large. Are there infinitely many $m, n$ with $m \geq n + k$ such that $$ M(n, k) > M(m, k + 1) $$? The answer is yes, as proved in a strong form by Cambie [Ca24]. [Ca24] S. Cambie, Resolution of an Erdős' problem on least common multiples. arXiv:2410.09138 (2024). This was formalized in Lean by Alexeev using Aristotle, conditional on asymptotic estimates for the prime counting function (specifically `pi_alt` from the PNT+ project). See the [formal proof](https://github.com/plby/lean-proofs/blob/main/src/v4.24.0/ErdosProblems/Erdos678.lean). Topics: number theory. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: possible.

vf_192de23c449c21cbRead-only frontier; diff not recomputed.
Erdős problems frontier receives a reviewable source, finding, caveat, replication, evaluation, or proof-affecting edit.
The packet names affected record objects, evidence, rationale, reviewer-facing fields, and expected proof impact.
Schema, provenance, benchmark, contradiction, and proof checks decide whether the request is ready to read.
A steward accepts, rejects, caveats, revises, or retracts the request under an inspectable identity.
Only the accepted event mutates frontier state. Atlases, constellations, and search update from that record state.
