Abstract

The product of consecutive integers cannot be a power (after Erdős and Selfridge), but products of disjoint blocks of consecutive integers can be powers. Even if the blocks have a fixed length $l\geq 4$ there are many solutions. We give the bound for the smallest solution and an estimate for the number of solutions below~$x$.
