Substring factor
- Substring factor [FINALIZED]
- Does a positive integer have a [substring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring) as a factor?
- ## Input
- - A positive integer.
- ## Output
- One of 2 distinct values to indicate whether the input has a strict substring of its base 10 (decimal) representation as a factor.- - Only strict substrings count - a string does not count as a strict substring of itself.
- - A substring must be contiguous, unlike a subsequence.
- - The factor does not need to be a prime factor - any divisor will do, including a composite factor or 1.
- - Zero is not a factor of any number.
- ## Examples
- ### Example with a single digit input
- Input: `4`
- Output: `false`
- A single digit integer has no non-empty strict substrings, so the output for any single digit input will be `false` (or whichever value you choose to consistently represent this).
- ### Example with a substring factor
- Input: `370`
- Output: `true`
- The input has a substring 37, and 37 is a factor of 370 (that is, 370 can be divided by 37 with no remainder).
- ### Example with only a subsequence factor
- Input: `253`
- Output: `false`
- The input has a ***subsequence*** 23, and 23 is a factor of 253, but 23 is not a ***substring*** (that is, not a contiguous subsequence), so this does not count. None of the substrings of 253 is a factor of 253.
- ### Example with a composite factor
- Input: `44`
- Output: `true`
- The input has a substring 4, and 4 is a factor of 44. Factors do not need to be prime.
- ### Example with 1 as a factor
- Input: `31`
- Output: `true`
- The input has a substring 1, and 1 is a factor of 31.
- ## Test cases
- - Test cases are in the format `input : output`.
- - You may use any 2 distinct values in place of `true` and `false`.
- ```text
- 4 : false
- 31 : true
- 44 : true
- 253 : false
- 370 : true
- 123456 : true
- 345678 : true
- 456789 : false
- 300007 : false
- 700003 : false

- Does a positive integer have a [substring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring) as a factor?
- ## Input
- - A positive integer.
- ## Output
- - One of 2 distinct values to indicate whether the input has a factor that is a strict substring of its base 10 (decimal) representation.
- - Only strict substrings count - a string does not count as a strict substring of itself.
- - A substring must be contiguous, unlike a subsequence.
- - The factor does not need to be a prime factor - any divisor will do, including a composite factor or 1.
- - Zero is not a factor of any number.
