Given two positive integers L and R, the task is to count the elements from the range [L, R] whose prime factors are only 2 and 3.
Examples: 
 

Input: L = 1, R = 10 
Output:
2 = 2 
3 = 3 
4 = 2 * 2 
6 = 2 * 3 
8 = 2 * 2 * 2 
9 = 3 * 3
Input: L = 100, R = 200 
Output:
 

 

Approach: Start a loop from L to R and for every element num
 

  • While num is divisible by 2, divide it by 2.
  • While num is divisible by 3, divide it by 3.
  • If num = 1 then increment the count as num has only 2 and 3 as its prime factors.

Print the count in the end.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 

C++




// C++ program to count the numbers within a range
// whose prime factors are only 2 and 3
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count the number within a range
// whose prime factors are only 2 and 3
int findTwoThreePrime(int l, int r)
{
    // Start with 2 so that 1 doesn't get counted
    if (l == 1)
        l++;
 
    int count = 0;
 
    for (int i = l; i <= r; i++) {
        int num = i;
 
        // While num is divisible by 2, divide it by 2
        while (num % 2 == 0)
            num /= 2;
 
        // While num is divisible by 3, divide it by 3
        while (num % 3 == 0)
            num /= 3;
 
        // If num got reduced to 1 then it has
        // only 2 and 3 as prime factors
        if (num == 1)
            count++;
    }
 
    return count;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int l = 1, r = 10;
    cout << findTwoThreePrime(l, r);
    return 0;
}

    if (l == 1)
        l++;
 
    int count = 0;
 
    for (int i = l; i <= r; i++) {
        int num = i;
 
        // While num is divisible by 2, divide it by 2
        while (num % 2 == 0)
            num /= 2;
 
        // While num is divisible by 3, divide it by 3
        while (num % 3 == 0)
            num /= 3;
 
        // If num got reduced to 1 then it has
        // only 2 and 3 as prime factors
        if (num == 1)
            count++;
    }
 
    return count;
}

Time Complexity: O((r-l)*log2(r-l))

Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.
