Given two numbers a and b, and a number k which is odd. The task is to find all the numbers between a and b (both inclusive) having exactly k divisors.
Examples: 
 

Input : a = 2, b = 49, k = 3
Output: 4
// Between 2 and 49 there are four numbers
// with three divisors
// 4 (Divisors 1, 2, 4), 9 (Divisors 1, 3, 9),
// 25 (Divisors 1, 5, 25} and 49 (1, 7 and 49)

Input : a = 1, b = 100, k = 9
Output: 2
// between 1 and 100 there are 36 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36)
// and 100 (1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100) having exactly 9 
// divisors

 

Recommended Practice

This problem has simple solution, here we are given that k is odd and we know that only perfect square numbers have odd number of divisors , so we just need to check all perfect square numbers between a and b, and calculate divisors of only those perfect square numbers. 
 

C++




// C++ program to count numbers with k odd
// divisors in a range.
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Utility function to check if number is
// perfect square or not
bool isPerfect(int n)
{
    int s = sqrt(n);
 
    return (s*s == n);
}
 
// Utility Function to return count of divisors
// of a number
int divisorsCount(int n)
{
    // Note that this loop runs till square root
    int count=0;
    for (int i=1; i<=sqrt(n)+1; i++)
    {
        if (n%i==0)
        {
            // If divisors are equal, count it
            // only once
            if (n/i == i)
                count += 1;
 
            // Otherwise print both
            else
                count += 2;
        }
    }
    return count;
}
 
// Function to calculate all divisors having
// exactly k divisors  between a and b
int kDivisors(int a,int b,int k)
{
    int count = 0; // Initialize result
 
    // calculate only for perfect square numbers
    for (int i=a; i<=b; i++)
    {
        // check if number is perfect square or not
        if (isPerfect(i))
 
            // total divisors of number equals to
            // k or not
            if (divisors(i) == k)
                count++;
 
    }
    return count;
}
 
// Driver program to run the case
int main()
{
    int a = 2, b = 49, k = 3;
    cout << kDivisors(a, b, k);
    return 0;
}

    }
