Count of pairs of Array elements which are divisible by K when concatenated

Difficulty Level : Hard
Last Updated : 11 Oct, 2020

Given an array arr[] and an integer K, the task is to count the pair of indices (i, j) such that i !=j and concatenation of a[i] and a[j] is divisible by K.

Example:

Input: arr[] = [4, 5, 2], K = 2
Output: 4
Explanation:
All possible concatenations are {45, 42, 54, 52, 24, 25}.
Out of these, the numbers divisible by 2 are {42, 52, 24, 54}.
Therefore, the count is 4.
Input: arr[] =[45, 1, 10, 12, 11, 7], K = 11
Output: 7

Naive Approach:
The simplest approach to solve the problem is as follows:

Iterate over the array using nested loops with variables i and j.
Concatenate arr[i] and arr[j], for every i != j, by the equation:

Concatenation of arr[i] and arr[j] = (arr[i] * 10^lenj) + arr[j], where lenj is the number of digits in arr[j]

Check the divisibility of the concatenated number by K.

Concatenated Number is divisible by k if and only if the sum of (arr[j] % k) and ((arr[i] * 10^lenj) % k) is 0 mod k.

For all such pairs of (arr[i], arr[j]), increase count.
Print the final value of count.

Time complexity: O(N²*len(maxm), where maxm denotes the maximum element in the array and len(maxm) denotes the count of digits of maxm.

Auxilairy Space: O(1)
Efficient Approach:

To optimize the above approach follow the steps below:

To apply the above formula, maintain a Map for each length from 1 to 10.
Store {len[a[i]], a[i] % k } in the map.
To count the pairs, for each j in [1, 10], increase the count by the frequency of (k – ((arr[i] * 10^j) % k)) stored in the Map as {j, k – ((arr[i] * 10^j) % k)} mapping.
If the pair (arr[i], arr[i]) is counted, decrease the count by 1.
After complete traversal of the array, print the final count.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ Program to count pairs
// of array elements which are
// divisible by K when concatenated
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
map<int, int> rem[11];
 
// Function to calculate and return the
// count of pairs
int countPairs(vector<int> a, int n, int k)
{
 
    vector<int> len(n);
 
    // Compute power of 10 modulo k
    vector<int> p(11);
    p[0] = 1;
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        p[i] = (p[i - 1] * 10) % k;
    }
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        int x = a[i];
 
        // Calculate length of a[i]
        while (x > 0) {
            len[i]++;
            x /= 10;
        }
 
        // Increase count of remainder
        rem[len[i]][a[i] % k]++;
    }
 
    int ans = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        for (int j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
 
            // Calculate (a[i]* 10^lenj) % k
            int r = (a[i] * p[j]) % k;
 
            // Calculate (k - (a[i]* 10^lenj)% k) % k
            int xr = (k - r) % k;
 
            // Increase answer by count
            ans += rem[j][xr];
 
            // If a pair (a[i], a[i]) is counted
            if (len[i] == j
                && (r + a[i] % k) % k == 0)
                ans--;
        }
    }
 
    // Return the count of pairs
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    vector<int> a = { 4, 5, 2 };
    int n = a.size(), k = 2;
    cout << countPairs(a, n, k);
}
