1362. Closest Divisors
May 17, 2024 · View on GitHub
Description
Given an integer num, find the closest two integers in absolute difference whose product equals num + 1 or num + 2.
Return the two integers in any order.
Example 1:
Input: num = 8 Output: [3,3] Explanation: For num + 1 = 9, the closest divisors are 3 & 3, for num + 2 = 10, the closest divisors are 2 & 5, hence 3 & 3 is chosen.
Example 2:
Input: num = 123 Output: [5,25]
Example 3:
Input: num = 999 Output: [40,25]
Constraints:
1 <= num <= $10^{9}$
Solutions
Solution 1: Enumeration
We design a function that returns two numbers whose product equals and the absolute difference between these two numbers is the smallest. We can start enumerating from . If can be divided by , then is another factor. At this point, we have found two factors whose product equals . We can return them directly. Otherwise, we decrease the value of and continue to enumerate.
Next, we only need to calculate and respectively, and then compare the return values of the two functions. We return the one with the smaller absolute difference.
The time complexity is , and the space complexity is . Where is the given integer.
