Sphenic Number

A Sphenic Number is a positive integer n which is product of exactly three distinct primes. The first few sphenic numbers are 30, 42, 66, 70, 78, 102, 105, 110, 114, …
Given a number n, determine whether it is a Sphenic Number or not.

Examples:

Input : 30
Output : Yes
Explanation : 30 is the smallest Sphenic number, 
           30 = 2 × 3 × 5 
           the product of the smallest three primes

Input : 60
Output : No
Explanation : 60 = 22 x 3 x 5
              has exactly 3 prime factors but
              is not a sphenic number

Sphenic number can be checked by fact that every sphenic number will have exactly 8 divisor SPHENIC NUMBER
So first We will try to find if the number is having exactly 8 divisors if not then simply answer is no.If there are exactly 8 divisors then we will confirm weather the first 3 digits after 1 are prime or not.
Eg. 30 (sphenic number)
30=p*q*r(i.e p,q and r are three distinct prime no and their product are 30)
the set of divisor is (1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30).



Below is the C++ implementation of the idea.

// This functions finds all primes smaller than 'limit' 
// using simple sieve of eratosthenes. 
void simpleSieve() 
{
    // initialize all entries of it as true. A value 
    // in mark[p] will finally be false if 'p' is Not 
    // a prime, else true.
    memset(arr,true,sizeof(arr));

    // multiples can be marked as composite. 
    for(int p=2;p*p<1001;p++)

            for(int i=p*2;i<1001;i=i+p)
            arr[i]=false;
        }
    }
}
int find_sphene(int N)
{
    int arr1[8]={0};   //to store the 8 divisors
    int count=0;        //to count the number of divisor
    int j=0;
    for(int i=1;i<=N;i++)     
    {
        if(N%i==0 &&count<9)        
        {
            count++;
            arr1[j++]=i;
        }
    }
    //finally check if there re 8 divisor and all the numbers are distinct prime no return 1
    //else return 0
    if(count==8 && (arr[arr1[1]] && arr[arr1[2]] && arr[arr1[3]]))
    return 1;
    return 0;
}
  
// Driver program to test above function 
int main() 
{ 
    int n = 60; 
    simpleSieve();
    int ans=find_sphene(n);
    if(ans)
    cout<<"Yes";
    else
    cout<<"NO";
