I think this works and the complexity is O(sqrt(n))
#include<cmath>
#include<cstdio>
#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
# define INFY 1000000007
int main()
{
int n, i, j;
int val, minDiv, minDis;
while(1)
{
cin >> n;
minDis = INFY;
for (i = n; i <= n+2; i++)
{
for (j = 1; j*j <= i; j++)
{
if (i % j == 0 && minDis > (i/j - j) )
{
minDis = i/j - j;
minDiv = j;
val = i;
}
}
}
cout<<val<<" "<<minDiv<<" "<<val/minDiv<<endl;
}
//system("pause");
return 0;
}
