Erdős Problem #728 has status 'proved (lean)'. Statement: Let $\varepsilon$ be sufficiently small and $C, C' > 0$. Are there integers $a, b, n$ such that $$a, b > \varepsilon n\quad a!\, b! \mid n!\, (a + b - n)!, $$ and $$C \log n < a + b - n < C' \log n ?$$ Note that the website currently displays a simpler (trivial) version of this problem because $a + b$ isn't assumed to be in the $n + O(\log n)$ regime. Barreto and ChatGPT-5.2 have proved that, for any $0 < C_1 < C_2$, there are infinitely many $a, b, n$ with $b = n/2$, $a = n/2 + O(\log n)$, and $C_1 \log n < a + b - n < C_2 \log n$ such that $a! b! \mid n! (a + b - n)!$ This appears to answer the question in the spirit it was intended. This was formalized in Lean by Alexeev using Aristotle. Topics: number theory, factorials. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: N/A.
