Max count of unique ratio/fraction pairs in given arrays

Given two arrays num[] and den[] which denotes the numerator and denominator respectively, the task is to find the count of the unique fractions.

Examples:

Input: num[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, den[] = {2, 4, 6, 1, 11}
Output: 3
Explanation:
Simplest forms of the fractions
Frac[0] => \frac{1}{2}
Frac[1] => \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
Frac[2] => \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
Frac[3] => \frac{4}{1}
Frac[4] => \frac{5}{11}
Count of Unique Fractions => 3

Input: num[] = {10, 20, 30, 50}, den[] = {10, 10, 10, 10}
Output: 4
Explanation:
Simplest forms of the fractions
Frac[0] => \frac{10}{10}
Frac[1] => \frac{20}{10}
Frac[2] => \frac{30}{10}
Frac[3] => \frac{50}{10}
Count of Unique Fractions => 4

Approach: The idea is to use hash-map to find the unique fractions. To store the fractions such that the duplicates are not there, we convert each fraction to its lowest form.



Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// C++ implementation to find 
// fractions in its lowest form
  
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
  
using namespace std;
  
// Recursive function to 
// find gcd of a and b
int gcd(int a, int b)
{
    if (b == 0)
        return a;
    return gcd(b, a % b);
}
  
// Function to count the unique
// fractios in the given array
int countUniqueFractions(int num[], 
                  int den[], int N){
      
    // Hash-map to store the fractions
    // in its lowest form
    map<pair<int, int>, int> mp;
      
    // Loop to iterate over the 
    // fractions and store is lowest
    // form in the hash-map
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        int numer, denom;
          
        // To find the Lowest form
        numer = num[i] / gcd(num[i], den[i]);
        denom = den[i] / gcd(num[i], den[i]);
        mp[make_pair(numer, denom)] += 1;
    }
      
    return mp.size();
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 6;
      
    // Numerator Array
    int num[] = { 1, 40, 20, 5, 6, 7 };
      
    // Denominator Array
    int den[] = { 10, 40, 2, 5, 12, 14 };
      
    cout << countUniqueFractions(num, den, N);
      
    return 0;
}
