Background
Current work in cryptography involves (among other things) large prime
numbers and computing powers of numbers modulo functions of these
primes. Work in this area has resulted in the practical use of results
from number theory and other branches of mathematics once considered to
be of only theoretical interest.
This problem involves the efficient computation of integer roots of
numbers.
The Problem
Given an integer

and an integer

you are to write a
program that determines

, the positive

root
of
p. In this problem, given such integers
n and
p,
p will
always be of the form

for an integer
k (this integer is what
your program must find).
The Input
The input consists of a sequence of integer pairs
n and
p with each
integer on a line by itself. For all such pairs

,

and there exists an integer
k,

such that

.
The Output
For each integer pair
n and
p the value

should be printed,
i.e., the number
k such that

.

Solution:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
double n, P;
while(scanf("%lf %lf", &n, &P) == 2)
printf("%.lf\n", pow(P, 1/n));
return 0;
}
