Abstract

We show that there is no square other than 122 and 7202 such that it can be written as a product of k−1 integers out of k(≥3) consecutive positive integers. We give an extension of a theorem of Sylvester that a product of k consecutive integers each greater than k is divisible by a prime exceeding k.
