Given an array with N positive integers. Find the GCD of factorials of all elements of array.
Examples: 

Input : arr[] = {3, 4, 8, 6}
Output : 6

Input : arr[] = {13, 24, 8, 5}
Output : 120

Approach: To find the GCD of factorial of all elements, first of all, calculate the factorial of all elements and then find out their GCD. But this seems to be a very lengthy process. GCD of two numbers is the greatest number that divides both of the numbers. Hence, GCD of the factorial of two numbers is the value of the factorial of the smallest number itself. 
For example, GCD of 3! (6) and 5! (120) is 3! (i.e. 6) itself. 
Hence to find the GCD of factorial of all elements of the given array, find the smallest element and then print its factorial that will be our required answer.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Implementation of factorial function
int factorial(int n)
{
    return (n == 1 || n == 0) ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n;
}
 
// Function to find GCD of factorial of
// elements from array
int gcdOfFactorial(int arr[], int n)
{
    // find the minimum element of array
    int minm = arr[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        minm = minm > arr[i] ? arr[i] : minm;
 
    // return the factorial of minimum element
    return factorial(minm);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 9, 12, 122, 34, 15 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    cout << gcdOfFactorial(arr, n);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the above approach
class GFG
{
     
// Implementation of factorial function
static int factorial(int n)
{
    return (n == 1 || n == 0) ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n;
}
 
// Function to find GCD of factorial of
// elements from array
static int gcdOfFactorial(int []arr, int n)
{
    // find the minimum element of array
    int minm = arr[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        minm = minm > arr[i] ? arr[i] : minm;
 
    // return the factorial of minimum element
    return factorial(minm);
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
    int []arr = { 9, 12, 122, 34, 15 };
    int n = arr.length;
    System.out.println(gcdOfFactorial(arr, n));
}
}

Python3




# Implementation of factorial function
def factorial(n):
    if n == 1 or n == 0:
        return 1
    else:
        return factorial(n - 1) * n
 
# Function to find GCD of factorial
# of elements from array
def gcdOfFactorial(arr, n):
 
    # find the minimum element
    # of array
    minm = arr[0]
    for i in range(1, n):
        if minm > arr[i]:
            minm = arr[i]
        else:
            arr[i] = minm
 
    # return the factorial of
    # minimum element
    return factorial(minm)

n = len(arr)
