Let p be a prime and m be a positive integer. For a positive integer n, let ep(n) be the nonnegative integer with pep(n) | n and pep(n)+1 ∤ n. As a corollary of our main result we derive an asymptotic formula for the counting function with regard to the condition ep(n!) ≡ ɛ (mod 3), where ɛ ∈ Z3. In 2001, Sander proved the result with modulus 2.
