Count of triplets in a given Array having GCD K

Given an integer array arr[] and an integer K, the task is to count all triplets whose GCD is equal to K.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {1, 4, 8, 14, 20}, K = 2 
Output:
Explanation: 
Triplets (4, 14, 20), (8, 14, 20) and (4, 8, 14) have GCD equal to 2.
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, K = 7 
Output:
 

 

Approach: 
Follow the steps below to solve the problem: 
 

  1. Maintain an array cnt[i] which denotes the numbers of triplet in array with GCD = i.
  2. Now, to find cnt[i], first of all count all the multiples of i in the array which is stored in another array mul[i].
  3. Now select any three values from mul[i]. Number of ways of selecting three values is mul [i] C 3, store this value in cnt[i].
  4. But it also includes the triplets with GCD a multiple of i.So we Again iterate over all the multiples of i and subtract cnt[j] from cnt[i] where j is a multiple of i.
  5. Finally return cnt[K].

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ program to count the
// number of triplets in the
// array with GCD equal to K
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
const int MAXN = 1e6 + 1;
 
// frequency array
int freq[MAXN] = { 0 };
 
// mul[i] stores the count
// of multiples of i
int mul[MAXN] = { 0 };
 
// cnt[i] stores the count
// of triplets with gcd = i
int cnt[MAXN] = { 0 };
 
// Return nC3
int nC3(int n)
{
    if (n < 3)
        return 0;
    return (n * (n - 1) * (n - 2)) / 6;
}
 
// Function to count and return
// the number of triplets in the
// array with GCD equal to K
void count_triplet(vector<int> arr,
                   int N, int K)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Store frequency of
        // array elements
        freq[arr[i]]++;
    }
    for (int i = 1; i <= 1000000; i++) {
        for (int j = i; j <= 1000000;
             j += i) {
            // Store the multiples of
            // i present in the array
            mul[i] += freq[j];
        }
        // Count triplets with gcd
        // equal to any multiple of i
        cnt[i] = nC3(mul[i]);
    }
 
    // Remove all triplets which have gcd
    // equal to a multiple of i
    for (int i = 1000000; i >= 1; i--) {
        for (int j = 2 * i; j <= 1000000;
             j += i) {
            cnt[i] -= cnt[j];
        }
    }
    cout << "Number of triplets "
         << "with GCD " << K;
    cout << " are " << cnt[K];
}

{

                        15, 9 };
    int N = 6, K = 3;
    count_triplet(arr, N, K);
    return 0;
