Description

### What is the conjecture

https://www.erdosproblems.com/696

Let $h(n)$ be the largest $\ell$ such that there is a sequence of primes $p_1<\cdots p_\ell$ all dividing $n$ with $p_{i+1}\equiv 1\pmod{p_i}$. Let $H(n)$ be the largest $u$ such that there is a sequence of integers $d_1<\cdots d_u$ all dividing $n$ with $d_{i+1}\equiv 1\pmod{d_i}$.

Estimate $h(n)$ and $H(n)$. Is it true that $H(n)/h(n)\to \infty$ for almost all $n$?
