Given an array arr[], the task is to find the maximum number of indices j < i such that (arr[j] % arr[i]) = 0 among all the array elements.

Example: 

Input: arr[] = {8, 1, 28, 4, 2, 6, 7} 
Output:
No of multiples for each element before itself – 
N(8) = 0 () 
N(1) = 1 (8) 
N(28) = 0 () 
N(4) = 2 (28, 8) 
N(2) = 3 (4, 28, 8) 
N(6) = 0 () 
N(7) = 1 (28) 
Maximum out of these multiples is – 3

Input: arr[] = {8, 12, 56, 32, 10, 3, 2, 4} 
Output:
 

Approach:  

  1. Use a map to store all the divisors of each array element.
  2. Generate all the divisors of an element in sqrt(n) time using the approach discussed in this article.
  3. Now, take the maximum of all the stored divisors for each element and update it.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++14




// C++ implementation of the approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
const int MAX = 100000;
 
// Map to store the divisor count
int divisors[MAX];
 
// Function to generate the divisors
// of all the array elements
int generateDivisors(int n)
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= sqrt(n); i++) {
        if (n % i == 0) {
            if (n / i == i) {
                divisors[i]++;
            }
            else {
                divisors[i]++;
                divisors[n / i]++;
            }
        }
    }
}
 
// Function to find the maximum number
// of multiples in an array before it
int findMaxMultiples(int* arr, int n)
{
    // To store the maximum divisor count
    int ans = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Update ans if more number
        // of divisors are found
        ans = max(divisors[arr[i]], ans);
 
        // Generating all the divisors of
        // the next element of the array
        generateDivisors(arr[i]);
    }
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 8, 1, 28, 4, 2, 6, 7 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
 
    cout << findMaxMultiples(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Output: 

3

 

Time Complexity: O(N*sqrt(val)), where N is the length of the array and val is the maximum value of the array elements.

Auxiliary Space: O(100000), as we are using extra space.
