The kth Factor of n

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 Solution: class
