Let $Q$ be a set of primes with relative density $\delta$. We count integers in $[1,x]$ with prime factors all in $Q$ that also have a divisor in $(y,2y]$. We establish the order of magnitude for all $\delta \in (0,1]$. This generalizes the…

In RSA cryptography numbers of the form $pq$, with $p$ and $q$ two distinct proportional primes play an important role. For a fixed real number $r>1$ we formalize this by saying that an integer $pq$ is an RSA-integer if $p$ and $q$ are…
