Generate an array having sum of Euler Totient Function of all elements equal to N

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Given a positive integer N, the task is to generate an array such that the sum of the Euler Totient Function of each element is equal to N.

Examples:

Input: N = 6
Output: 1 6 2 3

Input: N = 12
Output: 1 12 2 6 3 4

 

Approach: The given problem can be solved based on the divisor sum property of the Euler Totient Function, i.e.,

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++
// C++ program for the above approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to construct the array such
// the sum of values of Euler Totient
// functions of all array elements is N
void constructArray(int N)
{
    // Stores the resultant array
    vector<int> ans;

    // Find divisors in sqrt(N)
    for (int i = 1; i * i <= N; i++) {

        // If N is divisible by i
        if (N % i == 0) {

            // Push the current divisor
            ans.push_back(i);

            // If N is not a
            // perfect square
            if (N != (i * i)) {

                // Push the second divisor
                ans.push_back(N / i);
            }
        }
    }

    // Print the resultant array
    for (auto it : ans) {
        cout << it << " ";
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 12;

    // Function Call
    constructArray(N);

    return 0;
}
Java
// Java program for the above approach
import java.util.*;

class GFG{
    
// Function to construct the array such
// the sum of values of Euler Totient
// functions of all array elements is N
static void constructArray(int N)
{
    
    // Stores the resultant array
    ArrayList<Integer> ans = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    // Find divisors in sqrt(N)
    for(int i = 1; i * i <= N; i++)
    {
        
        // If N is divisible by i
        if (N % i == 0) 
        {
            
            // Push the current divisor
            ans.add(i);

            // If N is not a
            // perfect square
            if (N != (i * i)) 
            {
                
                // Push the second divisor
                ans.add(N / i);
            }
        }
    }

    // Print the resultant array
    for(int it : ans) 
    { 
        System.out.print(it + " ");
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args)

    int N = 12;

    // Function Call
    constructArray(N);
}
