Given a nonnegative integer, return whether it is a three digit number ending in one, in any consistent integer base. In other words, the number needs to be represented in base-N, N being an integer greater than zero.

Rules

  • This is , so shortest answer wins.
  • Since unary behaves weirdly, the behavior with input 310 is undefined.
  • Standard loopholes are prohibited.

Examples

True:

5   
73  
101 
1073
17
22
36
55
99  

False:

8
18
23
27
98
90
88
72
68

A handful of large numbers:

46656 true
46657 true
46658 true
46659 true
46660 true
46661 false
46662 false
46663 true
46664 false
46665 true
46666 true
46667 false
46668 false
46669 false
46670 true
46671 true

    \$\begingroup\$ Since unary behaves weirdly no, it doesn't behave weirdly, the unary representation of a non-negative integer n is just n 1s, e.g. 0 = ()₁, 3 = (111)₁, 10 = (1111111111)₁, etc. \$\endgroup\$ Dec 16, 2017 at 9:28

    \$\begingroup\$ @EriktheOutgolfer It does behave quite differently; you can't divide by 1 to n-itshift, for example. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ What does consistent integer base mean? (Also, instead of excluding unary in the rules you could just specify N ≥ 2.) \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Lynn as an addendum, I was also trying to exclude rational, negative, complex etc. bases. As for your second point, the rule about unary is intended to neither include nor exclude unary. Unless my grasp of language lawyering is even feebler than I thought, "undefined behavior" means "whatever the implementing party wants", which is what I was going for. \$\endgroup\$

A function that returns non-zero if the argument can be represented as a three-digit number ending in 1:

i,j;f(n){for(j=0,i=sqrt(n);i>cbrt(n);)j+=n%i--==1;return j;}

Note: this works with GCC, where the functions are built-in. For other compilers, you probably need to ensure that the argument and return types are known:

#include<math.h>

Explanation

The lowest base in which n is represented in 3 digits is ⌊∛n⌋, and the lowest base in which n is represented in 2 digits is ⌊√n⌋, so we simply test whether the number is congruent to 1 modulo any bases in the 3-digit range. We return the count of the number of bases satisfying the condition, giving a non-zero (truthy) or zero (falsy) value as appropriate.

Test program

Pass any number of inputs as positional parameters:

#include<stdio.h>
int main(int c,char**v)
{
    while(*++v)
        printf("%s => %d\n", *v, f(atoi(*v)));
}
