Given a number N, the task is to find the largest number less than or equal to the given number N such that on rearranging its digits it can become prime.
Examples: 
 

Input : N = 99 
Output : 98
Explanation : We can rearrange the digits of 
98 to 89 and 89 is a prime number. 

Input : N = 84896
Output : 84896
Explanation : We can rearrange the digits of 
84896 to 46889 which is a prime number.

 

Below is the algorithm to find such a largest number num <= N such that digits of num can be rearranged to get a prime number:
Preprocessing Step: Generate a list of all the prime numbers less than or equal to given number N. This can be done efficiently using the sieve of Eratosthenes.
Main Steps: The main idea is to check all numbers from N to 1, if any of the number can be reshuffled to form a prime. The first such number found will be the answer. 
To do this, run a loop from N to 1 and for every number: 
 

  1. Extract the digits of the given number and store it in a vector.
  2. Sort this vector to get the smallest number which can be formed using these digits.
  3. For each permutation of this vector, we would form a number and check whether the formed number is prime or not. Here we make use of the Preprocessing step.
  4. If it is prime then we stop the loop and this is our answer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ Program to find a number less than
// or equal to N such that rearranging
// the digits gets a prime number
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Preprocessed vector to store primes
vector<bool> prime(1000001, true);
 
// Function to generate primes using
// sieve of eratosthenes
void sieve()
{
    // Applying sieve of Eratosthenes
    prime[0] = prime[1] = false;
 
    for (long long i = 2; i * i <= 1000000; i++) {
 
        if (prime[i]) {
            for (long long j = i * i; j <= 1000000; j += i)
                prime[j] = false;
        }
    }
}
 
// Function to find a number less than
// or equal to N such that rearranging
// the digits gets a prime number
int findNumber(int n)
{
    vector<int> v;
    bool flag = false;
 
    int num;
 
    // Run loop from n to 1
    for (num = n; num >= 1; num--) {
 
        int x = num;
 
        // Clearing the vector
        v.clear();
 
        // Extracting the digits
        while (x != 0) {
            v.push_back(x % 10);
 
            x /= 10;
        }
 
        // Sorting the vector to make smallest
        // number using digits
        sort(v.begin(), v.end());
 
        // Check all permutation of current number
        // for primality
        while (1) {
            long long w = 0;
 
            // Traverse vector to for number
            for (auto u : v)
                w = w * 10 + u;
 
            // If prime exists
            if (prime[w]) {
 
                flag = true;
                break;
            }
 
            if (flag)
                break;
 
            // generating next permutation of vector
            if (!next_permutation(v.begin(), v.end()))
                break;
        }
 
        if (flag)
            break;
    }
 
    // Required number
    return num;
}
 
// Driver Code

{
    sieve();
 
    int n = 99;
