Greatest Prime Factors: For any prime p$p$, is there an integer C$C$ such that for any x >= Cif $x\ge C$, then all but 1one integer in the sequence x+1among $x+1, x+2, ...\dots, x+px+p$ has a greatest prime factor > p.Greatest Prime Factor $> p$

I apologize if this is a naive question about greatest prime factors (gpf). I was thinking about the sequence of integers where $gpf(x) \le p$$\mathrm{gpf}(x) \le p$ where $p$ is any prime.

Clearly, as $x$ increases, the distance $d$ between an integer where $gpf(x) \le p$$\mathrm{gpf}(x) \le p$ and $gpf(x+d) \le p$$\mathrm{gpf}(x+d) \le p$ increases at a seemingly every increasing rate.

For all primes $p$, does there exist an integer $C$ where if $x ≥ C$$x \ge C$, then there is at most $1$one integer in the sequence $x+1, x+2, \dots, x+p$ has $gpf(x) \le p$$\mathrm{gpf}(x) \le p$

For example, if $p=2$, $C = 2$ since for any $x \ge 2$, either $x$ or $x+1, gpf(x) > 2$$x+1, \mathrm{gpf}(x) > 2$

Capitalization looks better in my view.
