I will discuss an old conjecture of Ron Graham on whether there are infinitely many integers $n$ so that $\mathrm{gcd}({{2n} \choose n}, 105)=1$, as well as recent progress on a version of this problem where 105 is replaced with a product of $r$ distinct primes. This is joint work with Hamed Mousavi and Maxie Schmidt.
