Integers X and K are given. The task is to find the highest K-digit number divisible by X.

Examples: 

Input : X = 30, K = 3
Output : 990
990 is the largest three digit
number divisible by 30.
Input : X = 7, K = 2
Output : 98

A simple solution is to try all numbers starting from the largest K digit number (which is 999…K-times) and return the first number divisible by X.

An efficient solution is to use below formula. 

ans = MAX - (MAX % X)
where MAX is the largest K digit
number which is 999...K-times

The formula works on simple school method division. We remove remainder to get the largest divisible number.

C++




// CPP code to find highest K-digit number divisible by X
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to compute the result
int answer(int X, int K)
{
    // Computing MAX
    int MAX = pow(10, K) - 1;
 
    // returning ans
    return (MAX - (MAX % X));
}
 
// Driver
int main()
{
    // Number whose divisible is to be found
    int X = 30;
 
    // Max K-digit divisible is to be found
    int K = 3;
 
    cout << answer(X, K);
}

Approach: Mathematical Calculation 

In this approach, we use a mathematical calculation to find the largest K-digit number divisible by X. The main steps of this approach are as follows:

  • We start by initializing highest_digit as a K-digit number with all digits set to 9. This is achieved by creating a string of length K with all characters as ‘9’ and converting it to an integer.
  • We then iterate in a loop from highest_digit downwards to X. We check each number in the loop if it is divisible by X using the modulo operator %. If the number is divisible by X (i.e., the remainder is zero), we return that number as it is the largest K-digit number divisible by X.
  • If the loop finishes without finding a divisible number, it means no such number exists, so we return -1.

Implementation :

C++




#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int largestDivisibleNumber(int X, int K) {
    int highestDigit = std::stoi(std::string(K, '9')); // Create a K-digit number with
                                                       // all digits as 9
 
    // Find the largest K-digit number divisible by X
    while (highestDigit >= X) {
        if (highestDigit % X == 0) {
            return highestDigit;
        }
        highestDigit--;
    }
 
    return -1; // Return -1 if no such number exists
}
 
int main() {
    int X = 30;
    int K = 3;
    int result = largestDivisibleNumber(X, K);
    std::cout << result << std::endl; // Output: 990
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java code
 
import java.io.*;
 
public class LargestDivisibleNumber {
    public static int largest_divisible_number(int X, int K) {
        int highestDigit = Integer.parseInt("9".repeat(K)); // Create a K-digit number with all digits as 9
 
        // Find the largest K-digit number divisible by X
        while (highestDigit >= X) {
            if (highestDigit % X == 0) {
                return highestDigit;
            }
            highestDigit--;
        }
 
        return -1; // Return -1 if no such number exists
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int X = 30;
        int K = 3;
        int result = largest_divisible_number(X, K);
        System.out.println(result); // Output: 990
    }
