Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the largest number in the range [1, N] such that the square root of the number is less than its greatest prime factor.

Input: N = 15
Output: 15
Explanation: The prime factors of 15 are {3, 5}. The square root of 15 is 3.87 (i.e, 3.87 < 5). Therefore 15 is the largest valid integer in the given range.

Input: N = 25
Output: 23

Approach: The given problem can be solved by using the Sieve of Eratosthenes with a few modifications. Create an array gpf[], which stores the Greatest Prime Factor of all integers in the given range. Initially, gpf[] = {0}. Using Sieve, initialize all the indices of the array gpf[] with the greatest prime factor of the respective index similar to the algorithm discussed in this article.

Now, iterate over the range [N, 1] in a reverse manner and print the first integer whose square root of the number is less than its greatest prime factor.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
const int maxn = 100001;
 
// Stores the Greatest Prime Factor
int gpf[maxn];
 
// Modified Sieve to find the Greatest
// Prime Factor of all integers in the
// range [1, maxn]
void modifiedSieve()
{
    // Initialize the array with 0
    memset(gpf, 0, sizeof(gpf));
    gpf[0] = 0;
    gpf[1] = 1;
 
    // Iterate through all values of i
    for (int i = 2; i < maxn; i++) {
 
        // If i is not a prime number
        if (gpf[i] > 0)
            continue;
 
        // Update the multiples of i
        for (int j = i; j < maxn; j += i) {
            gpf[j] = max(i, gpf[j]);
        }
    }
}
 
// Function to find integer in the range
// [1, N] such that its Greatest Prime
// factor is greater than its square root
int greatestValidInt(int N)
{
 
    modifiedSieve();
 
    // Iterate through all values of
    // i in the range [N, 1]
    for (int i = N; i > 0; i--) {
 
        // If greatest prime factor of i
        // is greater than its square root
        if (gpf[i] > sqrt(i)) {
 
            // Return answer
            return i;
        }
    }
 
    // If no valid integer exist
    return -1;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 25;
    cout << greatestValidInt(N);
 
    return 0;
}

            }
        }
    }
