Given a number n, generate a list of n composite numbers.
Examples:
Input : 5 Output : 122, 123, 124, 125 Input : 10 Output : 3628802, 3628803, 3628804, 3628805, 3628806, 3628807, 3628808, 3628809, 3628810
The idea here is using the properties of . Since
, then numbers
, all divide
. Therefore
is divisible by 2,
is divisible by 3 …..
is divisible by n. And by above pattern they are consecutive composites.
We find (n+1)!, then we print numbers (n+1)! + 2, (n+1)! + 3, …. (n+1)! + (n + 1).
Below is the implementation of above approach:
C++
// CPP program to print n consecutive composite // numbers. #include <iostream> using namespace std; // function to find factorial of given // number unsigned long long int factorial(unsigned int n) { unsigned long long int res = 1; for ( int i=2; i<=n; i++) res *= i; return res; } // Prints n consecutive numbers. void printNComposite( int n) { unsigned long long int fact = factorial(n+1); for ( int i = 2; i <= n+1; ++i) cout << fact + i << " " ; } // Driver program to test above function int main() { int n = 4; printNComposite(n); return 0; } |
Java
// Java program to print n consecutive composite // numbers class GFG { // function to find factorial of given // number static long factorial( int n) { long res = 1 ; for ( int i = 2 ; i <= n; i++) { res *= i; } return res; } // Prints n consecutive numbers. static void printNComposite( int n) { long fact = factorial(n + 1 ); for ( int i = 2 ; i <= n + 1 ; ++i) { System.out.print(fact + i + " " ); } } // Driver program to test above function public static void main(String[] args) { int n = 4 ; printNComposite(n); } } |
Python3
# Python3 program to print n consecutive # composite numbers. # function to find factorial # of given number def factorial( n): res = 1 ; for i in range ( 2 , n + 1 ): res * = i; return res; # Prints n consecutive numbers. def printNComposite(n): fact = factorial(n + 1 ); for i in range ( 2 , n + 2 ): print (fact + i, end = " " ); # Driver Code n = 4 ; printNComposite(n); # This code is contributed by mits |
C#
// C# program to print n consecutive composite // numbers using System; public class Program{ // function to find factorial of given // number static long factorial( int n) { long res = 1; for ( int i = 2; i <= n; i++) { res *= i; } return res; } // Prints n consecutive numbers. static void printNComposite( int n) { long fact = factorial(n + 1); for ( int i = 2; i <= n + 1; ++i) { Console.Write(fact + i + " " ); } } // Driver program to test above function public static void Main() { int n = 4; printNComposite(n); } } // This code is contributed by Rajput-Ji |
PHP
<?php // PHP program to print n consecutive // composite numbers. // function to find factorial of given // number function factorial( $n ) { $res = 1; for ( $i = 2; $i <= $n ; $i ++) $res *= $i ; return $res ; } // Prints n consecutive numbers. function printNComposite(int $n ) { $fact = factorial( $n + 1); for ( $i = 2; $i <= $n + 1; ++ $i ) echo $fact + $i , " " ; } // Driver Code $n = 4; printNComposite( $n ); // This code is contributed by anuj_67. ?> |
Javascript
<script> // JavaScript program to print n consecutive composite // numbers // function to find factorial of given // number function factorial(n) { let res = 1; for (let i = 2; i <= n; i++) { res *= i; } return res; } // Prints n consecutive numbers. function printNComposite(n) { let fact = factorial(n + 1); for (let i = 2; i <= n + 1; ++i) { document.write(fact + i + " " ); } } // Driver code let n = 4; printNComposite(n); // This code is contributed by code_hunt. </script> |
122 123 124 125
The above solution causes overflow very soon (for small values of n). We can use technique to find factorial of large number to avoid overflow.
