Find minimum sum of factors of number

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 23 Mar, 2021

Given a number, find minimum sum of its factors.
Examples:

Input : 12
Output : 7
Explanation: 
Following are different ways to factorize 12 and
sum of factors in different ways.
12 = 12 * 1 = 12 + 1 = 13
12 = 2 * 6 = 2 + 6 = 8
12 = 3 * 4 = 3 + 4 = 7
12 = 2 * 2 * 3 = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7
Therefore minimum sum is 7

Input : 105
Output : 15

To minimize sum, we must factorize factors as long as possible. With this process, we prime factors. So to find minimum sum of product of number, we find sum of prime factors of product.

C++

// CPP program to find minimum
// sum of product of number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// To find minimum sum of
// product of number
int findMinSum(int num)
{
    int sum = 0;
 
    // Find factors of number
    // and add to the sum
    for (int i = 2; i * i <= num; i++) {
        while (num % i == 0) {
            sum += i;
            num /= i;
        }
    }
    sum += num;
 
    // Return sum of numbers
    // having minimum product
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    int num = 12;
 
    cout << findMinSum(num);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

        int sum = 0;
 
        // Find factors of number
        // and add to the sum
        for (int i = 2; i * i <= num; i++) {
            while (num % i == 0) {
                sum += i;
                num /= i;
            }
        }
        sum += num;
 
        // Return sum of numbers
        // having minimum product
        return sum;
    }
 
    // Driver program to test above function
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int num = 12;
        System.out.println(findMinSum(num));
    }
}
