Check if any permutation of a large number is divisible by 8

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 16 Jun, 2021

Given a large number N and the task is to check if any permutation of a large number is divisible by 8.
Examples:

Input: N = 31462708
Output: Yes
Many of permutation of number N like 
34678120, 34278160 are divisible by 8. 

Input: 75
Output: No

A naive approach is to generate all permutations of the number N and check if(N % 8 == 0) and return true if any of the permutations is divisible by 8.
An efficient approach is to use the fact that if the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is also divisible by 8. Below are the required steps:

Use a hash-table to count the occurrences of all digits in the given number.
Traverse for all three-digit numbers which are divisible by 8.
Check if the digits in the three-digit number are in the hash-table.
If yes a number can be formed by permutation where the last three digits combine to form the three-digit number.
If none of the three-digit numbers can be formed, return false.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to check if any permutation of
// a large number is divisible by 8 or not
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if any permutation
// of a large number is divisible by 8
bool solve(string n, int l)
{
 
    // Less than three digit number
    // can be checked directly.
    if (l < 3) {
        if (stoi(n) % 8 == 0)
            return true;
 
        // check for the reverse of a number
        reverse(n.begin(), n.end());
        if (stoi(n) % 8 == 0)
            return true;
        return false;
    }
 
    // Stores the Frequency of characters in the n.
    int hash[10] = { 0 };
    for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
        hash[n[i] - '0']++;
 
    // Iterates for all three digit numbers
    // divisible by 8
    for (int i = 104; i < 1000; i += 8) {
 
        int dup = i;
 
        // stores the frequency of all single
        // digit in three-digit number
        int freq[10] = { 0 };
        freq[dup % 10]++;
        dup = dup / 10;
        freq[dup % 10]++;
        dup = dup / 10;
        freq[dup % 10]++;
 
        dup = i;
 
        // check if the original number has
        // the digit
        if (freq[dup % 10] > hash[dup % 10])
            continue;
        dup = dup / 10;
 
        if (freq[dup % 10] > hash[dup % 10])
            continue;
        dup = dup / 10;
 
        if (freq[dup % 10] > hash[dup % 10])
            continue;
 
        return true;
    }
 
    // when all are checked its not possible
    return false;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string number = "31462708";
    int l = number.length();
 
    if (solve(number, l))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
    return 0;
