Erdős problem 392

Let A(n)A(n) denote the least value of tt such that n!=a1⋯at n! = a_1 \cdots a_t with a1≤⋯≤at≤n2a_1 \leq \cdots \leq a_t\leq n^2. Then A(n)=n2−n2log⁡n+o(nlog⁡n). A(n) = \frac{n}{2} - \frac{n}{2\log n} + o\left(\frac{n}{\log n}\right).

If we change the condition to at≤na_t \leq n it can be shown that A(n)=n−nlog⁡n+o(nlog⁡n) A(n) = n - \frac{n}{\log n} + o\left(\frac{n}{\log n}\right)
