Problem #693: Let $k\geq 2$ and $n$ be sufficiently large depending on $k$

Let $k\geq 2$ and $n$ be sufficiently large depending on $k$. Let $A=\{a_1

Problem Statement

Let $k\geq 2$ and $n$ be sufficiently large depending on $k$. Let $A=\{a_1<a_2<\cdots \}$ be the set of those integers in $[n,n^k]$ which have a divisor in $(n,2n)$. Estimate\[\max_{i} a_{i+1}-a_i.\]Is this $\leq (\log n)^{O(1)}$?
