No proof or disproof is known, and it isn't known whether a finite computation could settle it.
What the community database records, not our verdict. erdosproblems.com no longer shows statuses (why).
The proposition that the modular product of a collection of consecutive interval equals \(1\) modulo \(p\), where intervals are defined by a function specifying the consecutive boundaries.
Let \(k ≥ 2\). Does there exist a prime \(p\) and consecutive intervals \(I_0,\dots,I_k\) such that \(\prod\limits_{n{\in}I_i}n \equiv 1 \mod n\) for all \(1 \le i \le k\)?
