The problem

Given an integer array nums, return the sum of divisors of the integers in that array that have exactly four divisors. If there is no such integer in the array, return 0.

Example

Input
nums = [21,4,7]
Output
32
Explanation
21 has 4 divisors: 1, 3, 7, 21

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def sumFourDivisors(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        def f(x: int) -> int:
            i = 2
            cnt, s = 2, x + 1
            while i <= x // i:
                if x % i == 0:
                    cnt += 1
                    s += i
                    if i * i != x:
                        cnt += 1
                        s += x // i
                i += 1
            return s if cnt == 4 else 0

        return sum(f(x) for x in nums)
