Generate the number of divisors of a given number using matlab function method 3

Program

Write a function in matlab to generate the number of divisors of a given number using matlab?

Solution

To find the number of divisors of a given number, the mathematics is to find the powers of all the prime numbers and then apply this formula.
If a number n can be written as p1q1xp2q2xp3q3......
then number of divisors of the number is
(q1+1)(q2+1)(q3+1)+..........
Here we will modify the previously defined function: Function to find the exponent of each prime factor of a given number in Matlab. to get our result.

Program


function divisors = numberofdivisors3(n)
%this function will calculate the number of divisors of the number

vec = factor(n);
highest = vec(length(vec));
divisors = 1;

for i = 1:highest
    if isprime(i) == 1
        divisors = divisors*(nnz(vec == i)+1);
    end
end
To download this program in matlab file format click here: numberofdivisors3.m

Explanation

The explanation is same as that of the post which we have previously created. Click here to go to the post : Function to find the exponent of each prime factor of a given number in Matlab. I will write the values of the iterations to make it easy for you to understand the changes.

First iteration

i = 1
divisors = 1

Second iteration

i = 2
divisors = 3

Third iteration

i = 3
divisors = 3
And this situation continues. If you didn't understand this one then please go to the post and read the explanation and you will understand everything here

Please let me know if you have doubt or question. You can contact me here: contact me

Problem 60 Project Euler Solution with python

Prime pair sets The primes 3, 7, 109, and 673, are quite remarkable. By taking any two primes and concatenating them in any order the result will always be prime. For example, taking 7 and 109, both 7109 and 1097 are prime. The sum of these four primes, 792, represents the lowest sum for a set of four primes with this property. Find the lowest sum for a set of five primes for which any two primes concatenate to produce another prime. This problem is j u st a brute force problem. If you have come here because you don't know the limit upto which you will h ave to gener ate the prime numbers t hen go ahe ad and t r y with 10,000 . When I first start ed solving the problem I chose 1 million(beca use most of the problem s on project E uler have this limit ), but it took very long for the computer to fin d the solution. After searching on the internet then I found many people choosing 10, 000 so I have changed my in put f rom 1 million to 10000 and the output was f ast. He...

Add/Embed SVG to Blogger website

In this post I will tell you my method(trick) of adding SVG images in a blogger website or blog. Before starting , the first thin g I am assu m ing is that you are aware of SVG if you are here. If not please see S calable V ec tor G raphics Recently when I tried to embed a SVG image for a post on pygal, I tried uploading the SVG file and blogger Image uploader came up with an error, because of which I had to find some other way.  SVG File upload Error in Blogger  I started sea rc hing Google " Embed SVG in Blogger " . I found blogorrhea , w h ich gave some i nformatio n on add ing SVG directly as a markup , which worked , but I faced another problem using this . Also th is guy has used lot of Javascript which was confusin g for me, being new to using SVG.   So I first t houg ht of learning on h ow to embed SVG in HTML and t his on e worked out. Actually we can embed SVG in HTML i n following ways: Using Object tag Using Iframe tag Using embed...

Making a quiz web app with python and flask

Edit : When you are creating a web app with h tml templates, then y ou will have to sa ve the html file in templates folder in the Current Wor ki ng Directory( CWD). If you save the file in the C W D directl y you will get a TemplateNotFound error. Thank you Udhay for pointing it out.   In this post we will create a quiz website using python . I will be using the flask framework . After reading this tutorial you will learn form submission , flask templates , python code in flask templates , shuffling the questions and options with the random module and few others.  Please note that this tutorial is not big as it seems to be. Some of the code has been rewritten to maintain consistency and also font size is somewhat big so that your eyes won't get stressed reading this tutorial. Also the content has not occupied the full width of the page. In this tutorial I am assuming that you are having a very basic understanding of the flask framework . Please refer the documenta...
