Problem
You are given a positive integer n
.
Continuously replace n
with the sum of its prime factors.
- Note that if a prime factor divides
n
multiple times, it should be included in the sum as many times as it dividesn
.
Return the smallest value n
will take on.
Example 1:
Input: n = 15 Output: 5 Explanation: Initially, n = 15. 15 = 3 * 5, so replace n with 3 + 5 = 8. 8 = 2 * 2 * 2, so replace n with 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. 6 = 2 * 3, so replace n with 2 + 3 = 5. 5 is the smallest value n will take on.
Example 2:
Input: n = 3 Output: 3 Explanation: Initially, n = 3. 3 is the smallest value n will take on.
Constraints:
2 <= n <= 105
