# Check if a number is an Achilles number or not in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

## Concept

With respect of given positive integer n, the task is to verify if n is an Achilles number or not. We have to print 'YES' if N is treated as an Achilles number else print 'NO'.

Achilles number: With respect of Mathematics, an Achilles number is defined as a number that is powerful (A number N is said to be Powerful Number if it has been noted that for every prime factor p of it, p^2 also divides it) but not a perfect power.

In following, the first few Achilles number are displayed72, 108, 200, 288, 392, 432, 500, 648, 675, 800, 864, 968, 972, 1125

Input − 108

Output − YES

108 is powerful as 6 and 36 both divide it and it is not perfect square.

Input − 64

Output − NO

Explanation − 64 is powerful number but is perfect power.

## Approach

• Verify if the given number N is a powerful number or not.

• Verify if N is a perfect power or not.

• If N is powerful but not perfect then, N is an Achilles Number.Otherwise it is not.

## Example

Live Demo

// CPP program to check Primorial Prime
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
bool isPowerful1(int n1){
while (n1 % 2 == 0) {
int power1 = 0;
while (n1 % 2 == 0) {
n1 /= 2;
power1++;
}
if (power1 == 1)
return false;
}
for (int factor1 = 3; factor1 <= sqrt(n1); factor1 += 2) {
int power1 = 0;
while (n1 % factor1 == 0) {
n1 = n1 / factor1;
power1++;
}
if (power1 == 1)
return false;
}
return (n1 == 1);
}
bool isPower1(int a1){
if (a1 == 1)
return true;
for (int i1 = 2; i1 * i1 <= a1; i1++) {
double val1 = log(a1) / log(i1);
if ((val1 - (int)val1) < 0.00000001)
return true;
}
return false;
}
bool isAchillesNumber1(int n1){
if (isPowerful1(n1) && !isPower1(n1))
return true;
else
return false;
}
// Driver Program
int main(){
int n1 = 108;
if (isAchillesNumber1(n1))
cout << "YES" << endl;
else
cout << "NO" << endl;
n1 = 35;
if (isAchillesNumber1(n1))
cout << "YES" << endl;
else
cout << "NO" << endl;
return 0;
}

## Output

YES
NO
