Review text

For an integer \(n\geq 2\) an \(n\)-block is a block of \(n\) successive integers. We say an integer \(b\) of an \(n\)-block is coprime for the block if it is coprime to each other element of the block. It is shown that each \(n\)-block with \(2\leq n\leq 16\) contains a coprime. Furthermore, each 17-block with 9 odd integers contains a coprime, and each 19-block with 10 odd integers contains a coprime. These results in a certain sense are best possible.
