Minimum operations to make all elements equal using the second array

Given two arrays A[] and B[] both having N elements. Find the minimum number of operations to make all elements of A equal to the second array B. An operation comprises of: 

A[i] = A[i] - B[i], 0 <= i <= n-1 

Note: If it’s not possible to make array elements equal print -1.
Examples:

Input: A[] = {5, 7, 10, 5, 15}, B[] = {2, 2, 1, 3, 5} 
Output: 8 
Explanation:
Following are the operations: 
1) Choosing index 1 -> 5 5 10 5 15 
2) Choosing index 2 -> 5 5 9 5 15 
3) Choosing index 2 -> 5 5 8 5 15 
4) Choosing index 2 -> 5 5 7 5 15 
5) Choosing index 2 -> 5 5 6 5 15 
6) Choosing index 2 -> 5 5 5 5 15 
7) Choosing index 4 -> 5 5 5 5 10 
8) Choosing index 4 -> 5 5 5 5 5
Input: A[] = {3, 5, 8, 2}, B[] = {1, 2, 1, 1} 
Output: 12

Approach:

• It can be observed that the maximum possible value if all elements of A can be made equal is the minimum element of A. 
  
• So we can iterate over the final value x, when all elements of A become equal. Using above observation – 0 <= x <= min(A[i]). For each x, traverse A and check whether A[i] can be made equal to x using B[i] : 
  

A[i] - k*B[i] = x
Take mod with B[i] on both sides
A[i] %B[i] = x %B[i]  ->  
must be satisfied for A[i] to be converted to x

• If condition is satisfied, then number of operations required for this element = (A[i] – x)/B[i] 
  

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ implementation to find the
// minimum operations make all elements
// equal using the second array

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// Function to find the minimum
// operations required to make
// all elements of the array equal
int minOperations(int a[], int b[], int n)
{
    // Minimum element of A[]
    int minA = *min_element(a, a + n);

    // Traverse through all final values
    for (int x = minA; x >= 0; x--) {

        // Variable indicating
        // whether all elements
        // can be converted to x or not
        bool check = 1;

        // Total operations
        int operations = 0;

        // Traverse through
        // all array elements
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            if (x % b[i] == a[i] % b[i]) {
                operations +=
                    (a[i] - x) / b[i];
            }

            // All elements can't
            // be converted to x
            else {
                check = 0;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (check)
            return operations;
    }
    return -1;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 5;
    int A[N] = { 5, 7, 10, 5, 15 };
    int B[N] = { 2, 2, 1, 3, 5 };

    cout << minOperations(A, B, N);
    return 0;
}
