Given an array arr[] of length N, the task is to find the length of the longest sub-sequence with minimum possible LCM.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 1} 
Output:
{1} and {1} are the subsequences 
with the minimum possible LCM.
Input: arr[] = {3, 4, 5, 3, 2, 3} 
Output:
{2} is the required subsequence. 
 

 

Approach: The minimum possible LCM from the array will be equal to the value of the smallest element in the array. Now, to maximize the length of the resulting subsequence, find the number of elements with a value equal to this smallest value in the array and the count of these elements is the required answer.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the length
// of the largest subsequence with
// minimum possible LCM
int maxLen(int* arr, int n)
{
    // Minimum value from the array
    int min_val = *min_element(arr, arr + n);
 
    // To store the frequency of the
    // minimum element in the array
    int freq = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // If current element is equal
        // to the minimum element
        if (arr[i] == min_val)
            freq++;
    }
 
    return freq;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 3, 1 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
 
    cout << maxLen(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.Arrays;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return the length
// of the largest subsequence with
// minimum possible LCM
static int maxLen(int[] arr, int n)
{
    // Minimum value from the array
    int min_val = Arrays.stream(arr).min().getAsInt();
 
    // To store the frequency of the
    // minimum element in the array
    int freq = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
 
        // If current element is equal
        // to the minimum element
        if (arr[i] == min_val)
            freq++;
    }
 
    return freq;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String []args)
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 3, 1 };
    int n = arr.length;
 
    System.out.println(maxLen(arr, n));
}
}

Python3




# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to return the length
# of the largest subsequence with
# minimum possible LCM
def maxLen(arr, n) :
 
    # Minimum value from the array
    min_val = min(arr);
 
    # To store the frequency of the
    # minimum element in the array
    freq = 0;
 
    for i in range(n) :
 
        # If current element is equal
        # to the minimum element
        if (arr[i] == min_val) :
            freq += 1;
 
    return freq;
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    arr = [ 1, 3, 1 ];
     
    n = len(arr);
 
    print(maxLen(arr, n));

// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
using System.Linq;
     
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return the length
// of the largest subsequence with
// minimum possible LCM
static int maxLen(int[] arr, int n)
{
    // Minimum value from the array
    int min_val = arr.Min();
 
    // To store the frequency of the
    // minimum element in the array
    int freq = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
 
        // If current element is equal
        // to the minimum element
        if (arr[i] == min_val)
            freq++;
    }
 
    return freq;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main(String []args)
{
    int []arr = { 1, 3, 1 };
    int n = arr.Length;
 
    Console.WriteLine(maxLen(arr, n));
}

Javascript




<script>
 
// Javascript implementation of the approach
 
// Function to return the length
// of the largest subsequence with
// minimum possible LCM
function maxLen(arr, n)
{
    // Minimum value from the array
    var min_val = arr.reduce((a, b) => Math.min(a,b))
 
    // To store the frequency of the
    // minimum element in the array
    var freq = 0;
 
    for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // If current element is equal
        // to the minimum element
        if (arr[i] == min_val)
            freq++;
    }
 
    return freq;
}
 
// Driver code
var arr = [ 1, 3, 1 ];
var n = arr.length;
document.write( maxLen(arr, n));
 
// This code is contributed by itsok.
</script>


Output: 

2

 

Time Complexity: O(n)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
