In this talk, we consider numbers with multiple close factorizations like $99990000 = 9999 \cdot 10000 = 9090 \cdot 11000$ and $3950100 = 1881 \cdot 2100 = 1890 \cdot 2090 = 1900 \cdot 2079$. We discuss optimal bounds on how close these factors can be relative to the size of the original numbers. It is related to the study of close lattice points on smooth curves.
