Asked in companies
You are given an integer 'N'.
You must return the unique prime factors of 'N' in increasing order.
For Example:
For ‘N’ = 10.
Unique prime factors are 2 and 5.
Hence we return {2, 5}.
Problem approach
1: Divide the given number by the smallest prime number
2: Again, divide the quotient by the smallest prime number.
3: Repeat the process, until the quotient becomes 1.
4: Finally, multiply all the prime factors.
This helps me to find out the correct output of the program given
