Largest divisible pairs subset

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 21 Apr, 2021

Given an array of n distinct elements, find length of the largest subset such that every pair in the subset is such that the larger element of the pair is divisible by smaller element.

Examples:

Input : arr[] = {10, 5, 3, 15, 20} 
Output : 3 
Explanation: The largest subset is 10, 5, 20.
10 is divisible by 5, and 20 is divisible by 10.

Input : arr[] = {18, 1, 3, 6, 13, 17} 
Output : 4
Explanation: The largest subset is 18, 1, 3, 6,
In the subsequence, 3 is divisible by 1, 
6 by 3 and 18 by 6.

This can be solved using Dynamic Programming. We traverse the sorted array from the end. For every element a[i], we compute dp[i] where dp[i] indicates size of largest divisible subset where a[i] is the smallest element. We can compute dp[i] in array using values from dp[i+1] to dp[n-1]. Finally, we return the maximum value from dp[].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// CPP program to find the largest subset which
// where each pair is divisible.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function to find the longest Subsequence
int largestSubset(int a[], int n)
{
    // dp[i] is going to store size of largest
    // divisible subset beginning with a[i].
    int dp[n];
 
    // Since last element is largest, d[n-1] is 1
    dp[n - 1] = 1;
 
    // Fill values for smaller elements.
    for (int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
 
        // Find all multiples of a[i] and consider
        // the multiple that has largest subset
        // beginning with it.
        int mxm = 0;
        for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++)
            if (a[j] % a[i] == 0 || a[i] % a[j] == 0)
                mxm = max(mxm, dp[j]);
 
        dp[i] = 1 + mxm;
    }
 
    // Return maximum value from dp[]
    return *max_element(dp, dp + n);
}
 
// driver code to check the above function
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 1, 3, 6, 13, 17, 18 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    cout << largestSubset(a, n) << endl;
    return 0;
}

Java

import java.util.Arrays;
 
// Java program to find the largest
// subset which was each pair
// is divisible.
class GFG {
 
    // function to find the longest Subsequence
    static int largestSubset(int[] a, int n)
    {
        // dp[i] is going to store size of largest
        // divisible subset beginning with a[i].
        int[] dp = new int[n];
 
        // Since last element is largest, d[n-1] is 1
        dp[n - 1] = 1;
 
        // Fill values for smaller elements.
        for (int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
 
            // Find all multiples of a[i] and consider
            // the multiple that has largest subset
            // beginning with it.
            int mxm = 0;
            for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
                if (a[j] % a[i] == 0 || a[i] % a[j] == 0) {
                    mxm = Math.max(mxm, dp[j]);
                }
            }
 
            dp[i] = 1 + mxm;
        }
 
        // Return maximum value from dp[]
        return Arrays.stream(dp).max().getAsInt();
    }
 
    // driver code to check the above function
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] a = { 1, 3, 6, 13, 17, 18 };
        int n = a.length;
        System.out.println(largestSubset(a, n));
