Rough integers with a divisor in a given interval

We determine, up to multiplicative constants, the number of integers $n\le x$ that have no prime factor $\le w$ and a divisor in $(y,2y]$. Our estimate is uniform in $x,y,w$. We apply this to determine the order of the number of distinct integers in the $N\times N$ multiplication table which are free of prime factors $\le w$, and the number of distinct fractions of the form $\frac{a_1a_2}{b_1b_2}$ with $1\le a_1 \le b_1\le N$ and $1\le a_2\le b_2 \le N$.
