Sum of divisors of factorial of a number

Given a number n, we need to calculate the sum of divisors of factorial of the number.

Examples:

Input : 4
Output : 60
Factorial of 4 is 24. Divisors of 24 are
1 2 3 4 6 8 12 24, sum of these is 60.

Input : 6
Output : 2418

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

A Simple Solution is to first compute factorial of given number, then count number divisors of the factorial. This solution is not efficient and may cause overflow due to factorial computation.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find sum of proper divisor of  
// factorial of a number  
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// function to calculate factorial  
int fact(int n) 
{ 
    if (n == 0) 
        return 1; 
    return n * fact(n - 1); 
} 
  
// function to calculate sum of divisor  
int div(int x) 
{ 
    int ans = 0; 
    for (int i = 1; i<= x; i++) 
        if (x % i == 0) 
            ans += i; 
    return ans; 
} 
  
// Returns sum of divisors of n!  
int sumFactDiv(int n) 
{ 
    return div(fact(n)); 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{ 
    int n = 4; 
    cout << sumFactDiv(n); 
}

        return 1; 
    return n * fact(n - 1); 
}

    return ans; 
}

Output :

An efficient solution is based on Legendre’s formula. Below are the steps.

Find all prime numbers less than or equal to n (input number). We can use Sieve Algorithm for this. Let n be 6. All prime numbers less than 6 are {2, 3, 5}.
For each prime number p find the largest power of it that divides n!. We use below Legendre’s formula formula for this purpose.

The value of largest power that divides p is floor value of each term n/p + n/(p2) + n/(p3) + ……
Let these values be exp1, exp2, exp3, .. Using the above formula, we get below values for n = 6.

The largest power of 2 that divides 6!, exp1 = 4.
The largest power of 3 that divides 6!, exp2 = 2.
The largest power of 5 that divides 6!, exp3 = 1.

The result is based on the Divisor Function.
