Wow, I just got the same question from a friend (not a friend actually, he's my junior). Just count the duplicates of it and print the number ^ duplicates * ... Oh you're from Indonesia, that problem is for the weekly homework isn't it?

Naisu, good luck. For anyone else reading this and don't understand what we're talking about, it's just that the OP is in the same college as me (the OP is my junior).

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int n,i; scanf("%d",&n); int count=0,tag=0, chr=0; for(i=2;i<=n/2;i++) { while(n%i==0) { tag=1; count++; // printf("%d ",i); //comment this n=n/i; } if(tag){ if(chr) printf("*"); //update printf("%d^%d ",i,count); count=0; tag=0; chr=1 } } return 0; }

If for loop, for i you can get values 4,6,8.. Also and those not primes and not n%i==0 so you should avoid those printing.. When n%i==0 set tag=1 and execute if statement otherwise set tag=0 to not execute if.. Check this by setting tag=1 always... You get incorrect answers.. Similar tag a tag for printing *. Comment inner printf. Hope it clears..!

Take another variable as lik int chr=0; In if clouse, add like if(chr) printf("*"); Next In same if after printing a 1st output set chr=1; So next for every output, * also gets printed.. Edit: Brianna I updated code above, see

Brianna I updated the code, there's no need to do a prime check after the most-inner for-loop since it also checks whether the N is prime or not. Logically said, if it is not a prime, N will be 1 after the for-loop, if not, it's obviously a prime, just print it (no need to check it because we already know it must be a prime).

Brianna I'll explain my code in our language so you can easily understand (hopefully). Di penjelasan ini gw bakal cuekin testcase ya, jd klo gw blg for-loop itu mksdnya for-loop yg di dlm testcase (yg y=2). Jd for-loop itu bakal ngambil faktorisasi prima dari si N & secara bersamaan ngecek apakah N itu prima ato bkn. Kalo N itu dari awal bkn prima, dia pasti habis dibagi sama si for-loop yg artinya di akhir N pasti udh jd 1. Kalo dia dari awal prima atau berakhir jd prima, tinggal print aja angka itu. Itulah knp gw taro `if (N>1)`, krn 1 itu penanda klo dia "habis dibagi". Klo bingung codingan gw, chat aja (pm), jgn di sini.

Jayakrishna🇮🇳 make array from output i think. This is prime factorization, i already find how to solve the prime factorization. Example: prime factorization from 1176 is 2 2 2 3 7 7. How to change it into 2^3 * 3^1 * 7^2? I don't know how to make duplicate from the output

1176/2 = 588 588/2 = 294 294/2 = 147 147/3 = 49 49/7 = 7 7/7 =1 (7*7) * (3) * (2*2*2) = 1176 All factors are primes.. Brianna ?
