Find the super power of a given Number

Given an integer n. The task is to find the superpower from the factorization of n.

The Superpower is the highest power among the power of primes in the factorisation of a number n.

Examples:



Input :  n = 32
Output :  5

Input : n = 240
Output : 4

For finding the superpower of any given number n, we have to complete the factorisation of n, and find out highest power among all of the prime factors.

Note: Using Sieve for the purpose of storing list of primes is useful in terms of optimization.

Algorithm :

  • Itereate over primes and calculate the factorization of n.
  • For each prime among the stored list of primes and which is also a factor of n,
    find its power and check it for super power.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// sieve method for storing a list of prime
void SieveOfEratosthenes()
{
    memset(prime, true, sizeof(prime));
  
    for (int p = 2; p * p <= MAX; p++)
        if (prime[p] == true)
            for (int i = p * 2; i <= MAX; i += p)
                prime[i] = false;
}
  
// function to return super power
int superpower(int n)
{
    SieveOfEratosthenes();
    int superPower = 0, factor = 0;
    int i = 2;
    // find the super power
    while (n > 1 && i <= MAX) {
        if (prime[i]) {
            factor = 0;
            while (n % i == 0 && n > 1) {
                factor++;
                n = n / i;
            }
  
            if (superPower < factor)
                superPower = factor;
        }
        i++;
    }
  
    return superPower;
}
  
// Driver program
int main()
{
    int n = 256;
    cout << superpower(n);
    return 0;
