1492. The kth Factor of n

Medium

You are given two positive integers n and k. A factor of an integer n is defined as an integer i where n % i == 0.

Consider a list of all factors of n sorted in ascending order, return the kth factor in this list or return -1 if n has less than k factors.

Example 1:

Input: n = 12, k = 3

Output: 3

Explanation: Factors list is [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12], the 3rd factor is 3.

Example 2:

Input: n = 7, k = 2

Output: 7

Explanation: Factors list is [1, 7], the 2nd factor is 7.

Example 3:

Input: n = 4, k = 4

Output: -1

Explanation: Factors list is [1, 2, 4], there is only 3 factors. We should return -1.

Solution

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Solution {
    public int kthFactor(int n, int k) {
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            if (n % i == 0) {
                list.add(i);
            }
        }
        return list.size() >= k ? list.get(k - 1) : -1;
    }
