Consider multiplication operation $$f(x_1,\dots, x_k)=\prod_{i=1}^kx_i$$ where $x_i\in\{1,\dots, n_i\}$ with $n_1,\dots, n_k\in\{1,\dots,\infty\}$.

What is the cardinality of the range?

At $k =2$ with $n_1=n_2$ this is the standard Erdos multiplication table problem whose estimates are in Distinct numbers in multiplication table.

This problem is solved for $k\leq 5$ and open for $k\geq 6$. See Koukoulopoulos's paper for more details.
