If \(P(n)\) denotes the largest prime factor of \(n\), the author evaluates the cardinality \(S(x)\) of the set of integers \(n\) not more than \(x\) and that do not divide \(P(n)!\), a problem proposed by \textit{P. Erdős} in [Am. Math. Mon. 98, 965 (1991)]. The author proves elegantly that \(S(x)/x\ll\exp(-0.25\sqrt{\log x})\), improving an earlier estimate of \textit{I. Kastanas} [Am. Math. Mon. 101, 179 (1994)].
