Find numbers in between [L, R] which are divisible by all Array elements

Last Updated : 10 Jan, 2022

Given an array arr[] containing N positive integers and two variables L and R indicating a range of integers from L to R (inclusive). The task is to print all the numbers between L to R which are divisible by all array elements. If no such value exists print -1.

Input: arr[] = {3, 5, 12}, L = 90, R = 280
Output: 120 180 240
Explanation: 120, 180, 240 are the numbers which are divisible by all the arr[] elements.

Input: arr[] = {4, 7, 13, 16}, L = 200, R = 600
Output: -1

Naive Approach: In this approach for every element in range [L, R] check if it is divisible by all the elements of the array.

Time Complexity: O((R-L)*N)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The given problem can be solved using basic math. Any element divisible by all the elements of the array is a multiple of the LCM of all the array elements. Find the multiples of LCM in the range [L, R] and store in an array. At last print the numbers stored in the array.

Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(R - L)

Space Optimized Approach: Below steps can be used to solve the problem:

Calculate the LCM of all the elements of given arr[]
Now, check the LCM for these conditions:
1. If (LCM < L and LCM*2 > R), then print -1.
2. If (LCM > R), then print -1.
Now, take the nearest value of L (between L to R) which is divisible by the LCM, say i.
Now, start printing i and increment it by LCM every time after printing, until it becomes greater than R.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to return Kth smallest
// prime number if it exists
void solve(int* arr, int N, int L, int R)
{
    // For storing the LCM
    int LCM = arr[0];

    // Loop to iterate the array
    for (int i = 1; i < N; i++) {
        // Taking LCM of numbers
        LCM = (LCM * arr[i]) / 
            (__gcd(LCM, arr[i]));
    }

    // Checking if no elements is divisible
    // by all elements of given array of given
    // range, print -1
    if ((LCM < L && LCM * 2 > R) || LCM > R) {
        cout << "-1";
        return;
    }

    // Taking nearest value of L which is
    // divisible by whole array
    int k = (L / LCM) * LCM;

    // If k is less than L, make it in the
    // range between L to R
    if (k < L)
        k = k + LCM;

    // Loop to iterate the from L to R 
    // and printing the numbers which 
    // are divisible by all array elements
    for (int i = k; i <= R; i = i + LCM) {
        cout << i << ' ';
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int L = 90;
    int R = 280;
    int arr[] = { 3, 5, 12 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    solve(arr, N, L, R);
    return 0;
}

        return a;
  
    // a is greater
    if (a > b)

    {

        (__gcd(LCM, arr[i]));
    }

    // Checking if no elements is divisible
    // by all elements of given array of given
    // range, print -1
    if ((LCM < L && LCM * 2 > R) || LCM > R) 
    {

        return;
    }

    // Taking nearest value of L which is

    int k = (L / LCM) * LCM;

    // If k is less than L, make it in the

        k = k + LCM;

    // Loop to iterate the from L to R

    for(int i = k; i <= R; i = i + LCM) 
    {
