Erdős problem 401

Start work

Is there some function f(r)f(r) such that f(r)→∞f(r)\to \infty as r→∞r\to\infty, such that, for infinitely many nn, there exist a1,a2a_1,a_2 with a1+a2>n+f(r)log⁡na_1+a_2> n+f(r)\log n such that a1!a2!∣n!2n3n⋯prna_1!a_2! \mid n!2^n3^n\cdots p_r^n?

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
