Problem Understanding

We are given several independent integers. For each integer x, we compute the integer part of its square root, call it k = ⌊√x⌋. The task is to determine whether x is “luxurious”, meaning it is divisible by this k.

So the input is a sequence of numbers, and for each one we output a binary decision: whether x mod ⌊√x⌋ equals zero.

The structure is deliberately minimal. Each query is independent, so there is no shared state or cumulative effect. The output is typically a sequence of answers in the same order as input.

The constraint style for this type of problem is usually large, often up to 10^5 or 10^6 numbers, with x possibly up to 10^18. That combination immediately rules out any solution that does more than constant or logarithmic work per number. A naive loop over all divisors would be far too slow.

The subtle edge cases come from perfect squares and very small numbers.

One corner case is x = 1. Here ⌊√1⌋ = 1, so the condition always holds and the answer is trivially true.

Another is when x is just below a perfect square. For example x = 15 gives ⌊√15⌋ = 3, and 15 is divisible by 3 so it is valid. But x = 14 gives ⌊√14⌋ = 3 as well, and 14 is not divisible by 3, so it fails. These adjacent values highlight that the decision boundary is driven by the square root step function, not the magnitude of x itself.

A third edge case is perfect squares like x = 16. Here ⌊√16⌋ = 4, and divisibility becomes exact in some cases (16 works), but many perfect squares will still fail depending on the value, so there is no shortcut like “all squares pass”.

Approaches

The brute-force interpretation is straightforward: for each number x, compute k = ⌊√x⌋, then check whether x % k == 0. If we compute the square root by scanning from 1 upward until i² exceeds x, this costs O(√x) per query. Over large input this becomes prohibitive, potentially reaching 10^10 operations in worst cases.

The key observation is that we do not need to search for k. The value ⌊√x⌋ can be computed directly using a standard integer square root routine, which runs in constant or logarithmic time depending on implementation. Once k is known, the divisibility check is constant time.

The structure of the problem is therefore not algorithmically deep, but it is sensitive to correct integer square root computation. Floating-point sqrt must be handled carefully because rounding errors can produce k or k+1 incorrectly, which changes the divisibility result near perfect squares.

Approach	Time Complexity	Space Complexity	Verdict
Brute force sqrt scan	O(√x) per query	O(1)	Too slow
Integer sqrt + check	O(1) per query	O(1)	Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

We process each number independently.

1. Read the integer x. Each value is handled in isolation, so no preprocessing is required.
2. Compute k as the integer square root of x. This is the largest integer such that k² ≤ x. The correctness of the rest of the logic depends on k being exact, not approximate.
3. Check whether x is divisible by k. If x % k == 0, classify x as luxurious, otherwise classify it as not luxurious.
4. Output the result for x before moving to the next number.

The only nontrivial decision is computing k reliably. Using floating-point sqrt and truncation is acceptable in many environments, but a safer approach is to compute k using integer arithmetic or adjust around the candidate value to correct rounding.

Why it works: every number is classified solely by its relationship to ⌊√x⌋. There is no interaction between numbers, and no hidden state. The integer square root partitions the input space into intervals where k is constant, and within each interval we only test a single modular condition. This guarantees that once k is correctly computed, the decision is exact.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline
import math

def solve():
    t = int(input())
    for _ in range(t):
        x = int(input())
        k = math.isqrt(x)
        if x % k == 0:
            print("YES")
        else:
            print("NO")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The solution is built around math.isqrt, which avoids floating-point precision issues entirely. A common mistake is using int(math.sqrt(x)) directly, which can fail for large perfect squares due to rounding down incorrectly or occasionally rounding up in edge cases. The integer square root routine guarantees k² ≤ x < (k+1)².

The rest of the implementation is deliberately minimal: each test case is independent, and the divisibility check is constant time.

Worked Examples

Consider inputs x = 15, 14, 16.

For each value we compute k = ⌊√x⌋.

x	k = ⌊√x⌋	x % k	Output
15	3	0	YES
14	3	2	NO
16	4	0	YES

This trace shows that the square root boundary groups numbers into blocks where k is fixed, but divisibility varies independently within each block.

Now consider small values.

x	k	x % k	Output
1	1	0	YES
2	1	0	YES
3	1	0	YES
4	2	0	YES

This demonstrates that for k = 1 the condition is always true, which is a structural property of the definition rather than a special case in code.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O(T)	Each query performs constant-time integer sqrt and modulus
Space	O(1)	No additional data structures are used

The solution fits comfortably within typical constraints for up to 10^5 or more queries, since each operation is constant time and implemented in optimized C-based library code for square root computation.

Test Cases

import sys, io
import math

def run(inp: str) -> str:
    sys.stdin = io.StringIO(inp)
    out = []
    input = sys.stdin.readline

    t = int(input())
    for _ in range(t):
        x = int(input())
        k = math.isqrt(x)
        out.append("YES" if x % k == 0 else "NO")
    return "\n".join(out)

# small cases
assert run("3\n1\n2\n3\n") == "YES\nYES\nYES"

# perfect square boundary
assert run("2\n15\n16\n") == "YES\nYES"

# non-trivial mix
assert run("4\n10\n11\n12\n13\n") == "NO\nNO\nYES\nNO"

Test input	Expected output	What it validates
1,2,3	YES,YES,YES	k=1 behavior correctness
15,16	YES,YES	boundary around perfect squares
10-13	mixed	general correctness across intervals

Edge Cases

For x = 1, we get k = 1, so the divisibility condition always holds. The algorithm directly returns YES without any special handling, since 1 % 1 = 0.

For numbers just below a perfect square such as x = 24, we get k = 4. The algorithm checks 24 % 4 = 0, returning YES, which matches the definition. For x = 23, k is still 4, but 23 % 4 ≠ 0, returning NO. The correctness depends entirely on using ⌊√x⌋ rather than any rounded square root.

For perfect squares like x = 49, k = 7 and 49 % 7 = 0, so the output is YES. This confirms that the algorithm handles exact square boundaries without any adjustment logic.

For x = 2, k = 1, which reduces the problem to checking divisibility by 1, always true. The implementation naturally handles this without branching.
