1492. The kth Factor of n

Description

Given two positive integers n and k.

A factor of an integer n is defined as an integer i where n % i == 0.

Consider a list of all factors of n sorted in ascending order, return the kth factor in this list or return -1 if n has less than k factors.

Solutions

Solution 1

/**
 * Time complexity : O(n)
 * Space complexity : O(1)
 */

class Solution {
    public int kthFactor(int n, int k) {
        for(int i = 1; i <= n/2; i++) {
            if(n % i == 0) {
                k--;
            }
            if(k == 0) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return k == 1? n: -1;
    }
