Write a function(define) the_divisor(n, bound), that takes in two int values. N is the number you search for a divisor and bound will also be an integer. The function the_divisor should return the smallest divisor which is greater than bound. If no such integers exists, return -1. You cannot assume that the first argument will be larger than the second. In python >>> the_divisor(25,3) 5 >>>the_divisor(5,25) -1

Expert Solution
Step 1 Algorithm to print smallest divisor greater than bound

Algorithm to print smallest divisor greater than bound

  • Check if the given number n is divisible by 2 or not.
  • Iterate from i = 3 to sqrt(n) and making a jump of 2.
  • If any of the numbers divide n then it is the smallest prime divisor.
  • If none of them divide, then n is the answer.
  • If smallest divisor is smaller than bound then print the smallest divisor else print -1.
  • Stop.
