Count numbers in a range that are divisible by all array elements

Last Updated : 20 Dec, 2022

Given N numbers and two numbers L and R, the task is to print the count of numbers in the range [L, R] which are divisible by all the elements of the array.

Examples:

Input: a[] = {1, 4, 2], L = 1, R = 10
Output : 2
In range [1, 10], the numbers 4 and 8 are divisible by all the array elements.

Input : a[] = {1, 3, 2], L = 7, R = 11
Output : 0

A naive approach is to iterate from L to R and count the numbers which are divisible by all of the array elements.

Time Complexity: O((R-L) * N), as we will be using nested loops, outer loop for iterating from L to R and inner loop for traversing the elements of the array.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we will not be using any extra space.

An efficient approach is to find the LCM of N numbers and then count the numbers that are divisible by LCM in the range [L, R]. The numbers divisible by LCM till R are R/LCM. So using the exclusion principle, the count will be (R / LCM) - ((L - 1) / LCM).

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++

// C++ program to count numbers in a range
// that are divisible by all array elements
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the lcm of array
int findLCM(int arr[], int n)
{
    int lcm = arr[0];

    // Iterate in the array
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {

        // Find lcm
        lcm = (lcm * arr[i]) / __gcd(arr[i], lcm);
    }

    return lcm;
}

// Function to return the count of numbers
int countNumbers(int arr[], int n, int l, int r)
{

    // Function call to find the
    // LCM of N numbers
    int lcm = findLCM(arr, n);

    // Return the count of numbers
    int count = (r / lcm) - ((l - 1) / lcm);

    // return count
    return count;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 4, 2 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int l = 1, r = 10;

    cout << countNumbers(arr, n, l, r);
    return 0;
}

// C program to count numbers in a range
// that are divisible by all array elements
#include <stdio.h>

// function to find GCD of two numbers
int gcd(int x, int y)
{
    while (y != 0) {
        int temp = y;
        y = x % y;
        x = temp;
    }
  return x;
}

// Function to find the lcm of array
int findLCM(int arr[], int n)
{
    int lcm = arr[0];

    // Iterate in the array
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {

        // Find lcm
        lcm = (lcm * arr[i]) / gcd(arr[i], lcm);
    }

    return lcm;
}

// Function to return the count of numbers
int countNumbers(int arr[], int n, int l, int r)
{
    // Function call to find the
    // LCM of N numbers
    int lcm = findLCM(arr, n);

    // Return the count of numbers
    int count = (r / lcm) - ((l - 1) / lcm);

    // return count
    return count;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 4, 2 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int l = 1, r = 10;

    printf("%d", countNumbers(arr, n, l, r));
    return 0;
}

Complexity Analysis:

Time Complexity: O(N*log(max element of array)), as we are using a loop for traversing N times and gcd function to find the lcm in each traversal.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we are not using any extra space.
