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

Difficulty Level : Basic
Last Updated : 27 May, 2021

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)
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);
}
 
// 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;
}

    }
