I'm interested in nontrivial solutions of Diophantine equations of the type
$$a^2b^3 =  \frac{c!}{(c-k)!} $$

For various values of k fixed, and of course $a,b,c \in \mathbb{Z^+}$

Does anyone have any insight into this type of equation or a good reference for further reading? My search is being swamped by irrelevant results. 

Edit: I changed n to c to emphasize that I am looking for a,b,c that solve this equation. Thus for k= 1, the equation becomes $a^2b^3 = c$, which clearly has infinity many solutions.
