Erdős problem #793 · erdosproblems.com/793

Let F(n)F(n) be the largest A{1,,n}A\subseteq\{1,\dots,n\} with abca\nmid bc for distinct a,b,cAa,b,c\in A. Is F(n)=π(n)+(C+o(1))n2/3(logn)2F(n)=\pi(n)+(C+o(1))\,n^{2/3}(\log n)^{-2} for some constant CC?

What the AI did

GPT-5.6 Sol (prompted by Przemek Chojecki) proved F(n)=π(n)+(272+o(1))n2/3(logn)2F(n)=\pi(n)+(\tfrac{27}{2}+o(1))\frac{n^{2/3}}{(\log n)^2}, a refined form of Erdős's 1938 argument.

Verification

Marked proved (Lean) on erdosproblems.com via a proof claim by GPT-5.6 Sol.
