1492. The kth Factor of n (Medium)
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.
Example 4:
Input: n = 1, k = 1 Output: 1 Explanation: Factors list is [1], the 1st factor is 1.
Example 5:
Input: n = 1000, k = 3 Output: 4 Explanation: Factors list is [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, 1000].
Constraints:
1 <= k <= n <= 1000
