Representing number as the power and product of primes in JavaScript
Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a positive integer. Our function should represent this number as the sum of some powers of prime numbers.
Therefore, for the number n, our function should return a string like this −
n = "(p1**n1)(p2**n2)...(pk**nk)"
Where p1, p2, p3..pk are prime numbers and n1, n2,..nk are their non-negative powers and a ** b stands for a raised to the power b.
Example
Following is the code −
const isPrime = num => {
for(let i = 2; i < num; i++){
if(num % i === 0){
return false;
}
};
return num > 1;
}
const count = (arr = [], n = 1) => {
for(const k in arr){
if(n % k === 0){
arr[k] += 1;
return count(arr, n / k)
}
};
return arr;
};
const primeFactors = (n) => {
const res = [];
for(let i = 2; i < n; i++){
if(isPrime(i)){
res.push(i);
}
};
const arr = [];
for(const el in res){
arr[el] = 0;
};
count(arr,n);
let str = '';
for(const x in arr){
if(arr[x] > 1){
str += '(%s**%s)' %(x,arr[x])
}else if(arr[x] === 1){
str += '(%s)' % (x)
};
};
return str
};
console.log(primeFactors(86240));
Output
(2**5)(5)(7**2)(11)
