Largest number smaller than or equal to N divisible by K

Last Updated : 25 Jul, 2022

Given a number N and a number K, the task is to find the largest number smaller than or equal to N which is divisible by K.

Examples:

Input: N = 45, K = 6
Output: 42
42 is the largest number smaller than 
or equal to 45 which is divisible by 6.

Input: N = 11, K = 3
Output: 9

Approach: The idea is to divide the N by K. If the remainder is 0 then print N else print N - remainder.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

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

// Function to find the largest number
// smaller than or equal to N
// that is divisible by k
int findNum(int N, int K)
{
    int rem = N % K;

    if (rem == 0)
        return N;
    else
        return N - rem;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 45, K = 6;

    cout << "Largest number smaller than or equal to "<< N
         << "\nthat is divisible by "<< K  << " is " << findNum(N, K);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the 
// above approach
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

class GFG
{
// Function to find the largest number
// smaller than or equal to N
// that is divisible by k
static int findNum(int N, int K)
{
    int rem = N % K;

    if (rem == 0)
        return N;
    else
        return N - rem;
}

// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    int N = 45, K = 6;

    System.out.print("Largest number smaller " + 
                       "than or equal to " + N + 
                 "\nthat is divisible by " + K + 
                        " is " + findNum(N, K));
}
}

Python3

# Python3 implementation of the above approach

# Function to find the largest number smaller 
# than or equal to N that is divisible by k
def findNum(N, K):
     
    rem = N % K
    if(rem == 0):
        return N
    else:
        return N - rem

# Driver code
if __name__=='__main__':
    
    N = 45
    K = 6
    print("Largest number smaller than or equal to" + 
           str(N) + "that is divisible by" + str(K) + 
                                "is", findNum(N, K))

class GFG
{
// Function to find the largest number

static int findNum(int N, int K)
{
    int rem = N % K;

    if (rem == 0)
        return N;
    else
        return N - rem;
}

// Driver code
public static void Main()
{
    int N = 45, K = 6;

    Console.Write("Largest number smaller " + 
                     "than or equal to "+ N + 
               "\nthat is divisible by "+ K + 
                     " is " + findNum(N, K));
}
}

PHP

<?php
// PHP implementation of the 
// above approach

// Function to find the largest 
// number smaller than or equal 
// to N that is divisible by k
function findNum($N, $K)
{
    $rem = $N % $K;

    if ($rem == 0)
        return $N;
    else
        return $N - $rem;
}

// Driver code
$N = 45 ;
$K = 6 ;

echo"Largest number smaller than or equal to ", $N, 
    "\nthat is divisible by ", $K, " is ", 
    findNum($N, $K);

JavaScript

<script>

// Javascript implementation of the above approach

// Function to find the largest number
// smaller than or equal to N
// that is divisible by k
function findNum(N, K)
{
    var rem = N % K;

    if (rem == 0)
        return N;
    else
        return N - rem;
}

// Driver code
var N = 45, K = 6;
document.write( "Largest number smaller than or equal to " + N
     + "<br>that is divisible by " + K + " is " + findNum(N, K));

</script>

Output:

Largest number smaller than or equal to 45
that is divisible by 6 is 42

Time Complexity: O(1), since there is no loop or recursion.

Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.
