Given four integers N, A, B and C. The task is to find the count of integers from the range [1, N] which are divisible by either A, B or C

Examples: 

Input: A = 2, B = 3, C = 5, N = 10 
Output:
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 are the only number from the 
range [1, 10] which are divisible by either 2, 3 or 5.

Input: A = 7, B = 3, C = 5, N = 100 
Output: 55 
 

Approach: An efficient approach is to use the concept of set theory. As we have to find numbers that are divisible by a or b or c. 

  • Let n(a): count of numbers divisible by a.
  • Let n(b): count of numbers divisible by b.
  • Let n(c): count of numbers divisible by c.
  • n(a ? b): count of numbers divisible by a and b.
  • n(a ? c): count of numbers divisible by a and c.
  • n(b ? c): count of numbers divisible by b and c.
  • n(a ? b ? c): count of numbers divisible by a and b and c.

According to set theory,

n(a ? b ? c) = n(a) + n(b) + n(c) – n(a ? b) – n(b ? c) – n(a ? c) + n(a ? b ? c)

So. the count of numbers divisible either by A, B or C is (num/A) + (num/B) + (num/C) – (num/lcm(A, B)) – (num/lcm(A, B)) – (num/lcm(A, C)) + – (num/lcm(A, B, C))

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the
// gcd of a and b
long gcd(long a, long b)
{
    if (a == 0)
        return b;
 
    return gcd(b % a, a);
}
 
// Function to return the count of integers
// from the range [1, num] which are
// divisible by either a, b or c
long divTermCount(long a, long b, long c, long num)
{
    // Calculate the number of terms divisible by a, b
    // and c then remove the terms which are divisible
    // by both (a, b) or (b, c) or (c, a) and then
    // add the numbers which are divisible by a, b and c
    return ((num / a) + (num / b) + (num / c)
            - (num / ((a * b) / gcd(a, b)))
            - (num / ((c * b) / gcd(c, b)))
            - (num / ((a * c) / gcd(a, c)))
            + (num / ((a * b * c) / gcd(gcd(a, b), c))));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    long a = 7, b = 3, c = 5, n = 100;
 
    cout << divTermCount(a, b, c, n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




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

{
     
// Function to return the
// gcd of a and b

{
    if (a == 0)
        return b;
 
    return gcd(b % a, a);
}
 
// Function to return the count of integers
// from the range [1, num] which are
// divisible by either a, b or c
static long divTermCount(long a, long b,
                         long c, long num)
{
    // Calculate the number of terms divisible by a, b
    // and c then remove the terms which are divisible
    // by both (a, b) or (b, c) or (c, a) and then
    // add the numbers which are divisible by a, b and c
    return ((num / a) + (num / b) + (num / c) -
                (num / ((a * b) / gcd(a, b))) -
                (num / ((c * b) / gcd(c, b))) -
                (num / ((a * c) / gcd(a, c))) +
                (num / ((a * b * c) / gcd(gcd(a, b), c))));
}

    long a = 7, b = 3, c = 5, n = 100;
 
    System.out.println(divTermCount(a, b, c, n));
}
