Maximum count of elements divisible on the left for any element

Given an array arr[] of N elements. The good value of an element arr[i] is the number of valid indices j<i such that arr[j] is divisible by arr[i].
Example: 
 

Input: arr[] = {9, 6, 2, 3} 
Output:
9 doesn’t has any element on its left. 
6 doesn’t divide any element on its left. 
2 divides 6. 
3 divides 6 and 9.
Input: arr[] = {8, 1, 28, 4, 2, 6, 7} 
Output:

Naive approach: For every element, find the count of numbers divisible by it on its left and print the maximum of these values.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the maximum count
// of required elements
int findMax(int arr[], int n)
{
    int res = 0;
    int i, j;
     
    // For every element in the array starting
    // from the second element
    for(i = 0; i < n ; i++)
    {
         
        // Check all the elements on the left
        // of current element which are divisible
        // by the current element
        int count = 0;
        for(j = 0; j < i; j++)
        {
            if (arr[j] % arr[i] == 0)
                count += 1;
        }
        res = max(count, res);
    }
    return res;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 8, 1, 28, 4, 2, 6, 7 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
 
    cout << findMax(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Time Complexity: O(N2)
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
Efficient approach: It can be observed that for any element pair (arr[i], arr[j]) where i < j and (arr[i] % arr[j]) = 0, if the count of elements divisible by arr[i] on its left is X then the count of elements divisible by arr[j] on its left will definitely be greater than X as all the elements which are divisible by arr[i] will also be divisible by arr[j]. So, for every element which is divisible by any other element on its right, the count of elements on its left which are divisible by it doesn’t need to be calculated which will improve the time complexity of the overall program but it should be noted that for the input where no element is divisible by any other element (for example, when all the elements are prime), the worst-case time complexity would still be O(N2).
