FCTORISE - Factorising odd numbers |
Any odd integer, m, greater than 1, can be factorised by expressing it as the difference of two squares, since if m = x^2 - y^2 then m = (x+y)*(x-y), so m has factors x+y and x-y.
For example, 15 = 4^2 - 1^2 = (4+1)*(4-1) = 5*3.
Rearranging the first equation above gives m + y^2 = x^2, so we can find x and y by evaluating m + y^2 for y = 0, 1, 2 ... until the perfect square x^2 is found.
Write a program to factorise an odd integer greater than 1 by expressing it as the difference of two squares.
Input
The first line of the input is the number of cases (a positive integer, n, on one line).
This is followed by n odd integers greater than 1, each on a line of its own.
Output
The output should consist of:
m = x^2 - y^2 = (x+y)*(x-y)(with the actual values for m, x, and y).
Example
Input: 2 15 9929 Output: 15 = 4^2 - 1^2 = 5*3 9929 = 4965^2 - 4964^2 = 9929*1

Output x, y found first using the method described in the statement, eg. 15 = 8^2 - 7^2 = 15*1 is not an accepted answer. |
