The kth Factor of n

You are given two positive integers n and k.

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.

Follow up:

Could you solve this problem in less than O(n) complexity?

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.

Constraints

  • 1 <= k <= n <= 1000
