2507. Smallest Value After Replacing With Sum of Prime Factors

Leetcode Solutions

Sum of Prime Factors Replacement

  1. Initialize a variable to store the current value of n.
  2. Loop until the sum of prime factors does not change: a. Initialize a sum variable to 0. b. Find the prime factors of n starting from the smallest prime, 2. c. For each prime factor i, divide n by i as long as i is a divisor of n, and add i to the sum for each division. d. If n is greater than 1 after this process, it means n is a prime number itself, so add it to the sum. e. If the sum is equal to the current value of n, break the loop as we have reached a stable state. f. Otherwise, set n to the sum and repeat the process.
  3. Return the stabilized sum.
