#C8715. Consecutive Numbers Sum
Consecutive Numbers Sum
Consecutive Numbers Sum
Given a positive integer N, determine the number of ways to express N as a sum of consecutive positive integers. In mathematical terms, for a sequence starting from a with k consecutive numbers, we have:
\( N = k \times a + \frac{k(k-1)}{2} \)
A valid representation exists if a is a positive integer. For example, when N is 15, the valid sequences include:
- 15
- 7 + 8
- 4 + 5 + 6
- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
inputFormat
The input is a single integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 109) provided via standard input.
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the number of ways N can be expressed as a sum of consecutive positive integers.
