Abstract
Let denote the largest prime factor of an integer , and put . For an integer , let be the generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with ( terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding terms. Here, we show that if , then , where is an effectively computable constant. Furthermore, we determine all the Fibonacci numbers whose largest prime factor is less than or equal to 7.
