786. K-th Smallest Prime Fraction
A sorted list A
contains 1, plus some number of primes. Then, for every p < q in the list, we consider the fraction p/q.
What is the K
-th smallest fraction considered? Return your answer as an array of ints, where answer[0] = p
and answer[1] = q
.
Examples:
Input: A = [1, 2, 3, 5], K = 3
Output: [2, 5]
Explanation:
The fractions to be considered in sorted order are:
1/5, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3.
The third fraction is 2/5.
Input: A = [1, 7], K = 1
Output: [1, 7]
Note:
A
will have length between2
and2000
.Each
A[i]
will be between1
and30000
.K
will be between1
andA.length * (A.length - 1) / 2
.

p = A[i];
q = A[j];
}
}
if (cnt == K) return {p, q};
else if (cnt < K) l = mid;
else r = mid;
}
