Problem Description
A “good number” refers to the odd divisors among all the divisors of a given number N. Your goal is to find all odd divisors of N when a given number N is provided.
For example, if N is 12, the divisors of this number are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12,
and the odd divisors among them are 1 and 3. Write a program to find and output the odd divisors of the given number in ascending order.
Input Format
The input is an integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 10^6).
Output Format
Print the odd divisors of N in ascending order on one line.
If there are no odd divisors, print “There are no odd divisors.”
Example Input and Output
Input:
12
Output:
1 3
Input:
7
Output:
1 7
Solution Approach
Step 1: Understand the Problem
To solve the problem, it is necessary to define the divisors of the given number N accurately.
A divisor means a number that divides another number with a remainder of 0.
For example, when N is 12, the divisors are all numbers that can divide 12.
Step 2: Finding Divisors
To find all divisors of N, you need to iterate from 1 to N, checking if N is divisible by the current number
and if the remainder is 0.
Method:
– Iterate through all integers from 1 to N.
– If N divided by the current number i has a remainder of 0, then i is a divisor of N.
– Additionally, check if i is odd, and only save it in the list if it is odd.
Step 3: Storing and Outputting Odd Divisors
Create a list to store the odd divisors, then sort this list in ascending order and output it.
If the list is empty, print a message saying “There are no odd divisors.”
Step 4: Implementing in C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int N = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
List oddDivisors = new List();
for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++)
{
if (N % i == 0 && i % 2 != 0)
{
oddDivisors.Add(i);
}
}
if (oddDivisors.Count == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("There are no odd divisors.");
}
else
{
oddDivisors.Sort();
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", oddDivisors));
}
}
}
Code Explanation
1. Getting Input
<code>int N = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());</code>
part is where the program takes an integer N as input from the user. The Console.ReadLine() method reads
the user’s input as a string, and then it is converted to an integer using the int.Parse() method.
2. Finding Odd Divisors
<code>for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++)</code> starts the loop, executing it from 1 to N. Then the <code>if (N % i == 0 && i % 2 != 0)</code> statement checks if N is divisible by i and whether i is odd. If both conditions are satisfied, i is added to the odd divisor list.
3. Outputting Results
Finally, the length of the odd divisor list is checked. If there are no divisors, it prints “There are no odd divisors.”
If there are divisors, they are sorted in ascending order and printed as a space-separated string.
Here, <code>string.Join(” “, oddDivisors)</code> converts the list values to a string for output.
Performance Analysis
The time complexity of the above algorithm is O(N). Since N can be at most 10^6, this can feel slow.
However, considering the range of the input values, it is generally fast enough for calculations.
Additionally, to improve performance, the range for finding divisors can be reduced to the square root of N.
Doing so can decrease the time complexity to O(√N).
Going Further: Optimizing Odd Divisor Calculation of N
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int N = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
List oddDivisors = new List();
for (int i = 1; i * i <= N; i++)
{
if (N % i == 0)
{
if (i % 2 != 0)
{
oddDivisors.Add(i);
}
int pairedDivisor = N / i;
if (pairedDivisor != i && pairedDivisor % 2 != 0)
{
oddDivisors.Add(pairedDivisor);
}
}
}
if (oddDivisors.Count == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("There are no odd divisors.");
}
else
{
oddDivisors.Sort();
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", oddDivisors));
}
}
}
In this code, it checks both i and N/i pairs of divisors at the same time by looping from 1 to the square root of N.
This improves efficiency.
