Given an integer N, the task is to check if it can be expressed as a product of exactly K prime divisors. 
Examples:
 

Input: N = 12, K = 3
Output: Yes
Explanation:
12 can be expressed as product of 2×2×3.

Input: N = 14, K = 3
Output:  No
Explanation:
14 can be only expressed as product of 2×7.


 


Approach:
To solve the problem mentioned above we are given the value N and we will find the maximum number of values we can split N into. We can represent prime factorization of N as \prod_{i=1}^{K} {p_{i}}^{a_{i}}     where pi are the prime factors of N and ai are the exponents. We know that total number of divisors of N is \prod_{i=1}^{K} (a_{i}+1)     . Therefore, we can observe that we have to check whether it is possible to represent N as product of K numbers or not. If the maximum split is less than K then it is not possible to express it in exactly K prime divisors, else it is always possible.

// number can be expressed as a

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function to find K prime divisors
void KPrimeDivisors(int N, int K)
{
    int maximum_split = 0;
 
    // count number of 2s that divide N
    while (N % 2 == 0) {
        maximum_split++;
        N /= 2;
    }
 
    // N must be odd at this point.
    // So we can skip one element
    for (int i = 3; i * i <= N; i = i + 2) {
 
        while (N % i == 0) {
            // divide the value of N
            N = N / i;
 
            // increment count
            maximum_split++;
        }
    }
 
    // Condition to handle the case when n
    // is a prime number greater than 2
    if (N > 2)
        maximum_split++;
 
    // check if maximum_split is less than K
    // then it not possible
    if (maximum_split < K) {
        printf("No\n");
