Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the height of the Factor Tree of the given integer N.

Examples:

Input: N = 20
Output: 3
Explanation: The height of the Factor Tree of 20 shown in the image below is 3.

Input: N = 48
Output: 5

Approach: The given problem can be solved by using the steps discussed below:

  • Initialize a variable, say height as 0 that stores the height of the Factor Tree of the given integer N.
  • Iterate over all the values of i in the range [2, ?N] and perform the following steps:
    1. Find the smallest divisor of N and if it exists, then increment the value of height by 1.
    2. If a divisor i exists, then repeat the above step by updating the value of N to N / i, until N > 1.
    3. If no divisors of N exist break the loop.
  • After completing the above steps, print the value of height as the answer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the height of the
// Factor Tree of the integer N
int factorTree(int N)
{
    // Stores the height of Factor Tree
    int height = 0;
 
    // Loop to iterate over values of N
    while (N > 1) {
        // Stores if there exist
        // a factor of N or not
        bool flag = false;
 
        // Loop to find the smallest
        // factor of N
        for (int i = 2; i <= sqrt(N); i++) {
            // If i is a factor of N
            if (N % i == 0) {
                N = N / i;
                flag = true;
                break;
            }
        }
 
        // Increment the height
        height++;
 
        // If there are no factors of N
        // i.e, N is prime, break loop
        if (!flag) {
            break;
        }
    }
 
    // Return Answer

        // Loop to iterate over values of N
        while (N > 1)
        {
           
            // Stores if there exist
            // a factor of N or not
            boolean flag = false;
       
            // Loop to find the smallest
            // factor of N
            for (int i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(N); i++)
            {
               
                // If i is a factor of N
                if (N % i == 0) {
                    N = N / i;
                    flag = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
       
            // Increment the height
            height++;
       
            // If there are no factors of N
            // i.e, N is prime, break loop

            }
        }

    }

        System.out.println(factorTree(N));
    }
