A perfect square is an integer that can be expressed as the product of two equal integers. For example, 4 = 22 is a perfect square. An integer n is called primitive if it is divisible by no perfect square other than 1. For example, 15 is primitive but 12 is not, as 12 is divisible by 4 = 22 (a perfect square).
Write a program to find the largest even primitive integer n < t.
def factor(n): #Primes and Exponents(pae) pae = [] for k in range(2, math.ceil(n ** 0.5)): if n % k == 0: exponent = 1 while n % (k ** exponent) == 0: exponent += 1 pae.append([k, exponent-1]) n = n // (k ** (exponent-1)) if n != 1: pae.append([n,1]) return pae
def Isprimitive(n): pae = factor(n) for pair in pae: if pair[1] != 1: return False else: return True
def largestEvenPrimitive(n): if n % 2 == 1: n = n - 1 while (True): if Isprimitive(n): return n else: n = n - 2
print(largestEvenPrimitive(100))
this code prints 98, but I'm pretty sure is incorrect since 98 = 2 * 72.
Does this code address the question properly? is 98 the right output or can any changes be made to make it correct (if is not )?
Thank you
