Abstract
The primorial of a prime is the product of all primes . Let pr denote the largest prime with , where is Euler's totient function. We show that the normal order of pr is . That is, pr as on a set of integers of asymptotic density 1. In fact we show there is an asymptotic secondary term and, on a tertiary level, there is an asymptotic Poisson distribution. We also show an analogous result for the largest integer with .
