Given a number N, print all its unique prime factors and their powers in N.
Examples:
Input: N = 100 Output: Factor Power 2 2 5 2 Input: N = 35 Output: Factor Power 5 1 7 1
A Simple Solution is to first find prime factors of N. Then for every prime factor, find the highest power of it that divides N and print it.
An Efficient Solution is to use Sieve of Eratosthenes.
1) First compute an array s[N+1] using Sieve of Eratosthenes. s[i] = Smallest prime factor of "i" that divides "i". For example let N = 10 s[2] = s[4] = s[6] = s[8] = s[10] = 2; s[3] = s[9] = 3; s[5] = 5; s[7] = 7; 2) Using the above computed array s[], we can find all powers in O(Log N) time. curr = s[N]; // Current prime factor of N cnt = 1; // Power of current prime factor // Printing prime factors and their powers while (N > 1) { N /= s[N]; // N is now N/s[N]. If new N also has its // smallest prime factor as curr, increment // power and continue if (curr == s[N]) { cnt++; continue; } // Print prime factor and its power print(curr, cnt); // Update current prime factor as s[N] and // initializing count as 1. curr = s[N]; cnt = 1; }
Below is the implementation of above steps.

{ // Create a boolean array "prime[0..n]" and
// initialize all entries in it as false.
vector < bool > prime(N+1, false );

The above algorithm finds all powers in O(Log N) time after we have filled s[]. This can be very useful in competitive environment where we have an upper limit and we need to compute prime factors and their powers for many test cases. In this scenario, the array needs to be s[] filled only once.
