Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers and an integer X, the task is to check if it is possible to modify the array such that the array does not contain any common divisor other than 1, by repeatedly dividing any array element of the array by any of its divisor d (d ≤ X). If it is possible to modify the array such that it satisfies the given conditions, then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {6, 15, 6}, X = 6
Output:
Yes 
2 5 2
Explanation:
Operation 1: Dividing arr[0] by 3 (Since 3 ≤ 6) modifies arr[] to { 2, 15, 6 }.
Operation 2: Dividing arr[1] by 5 (Since 5 ≤ 6) modifies arr[] to { 2, 3, 6 }. 
Therefore, GCD of the array = GCD({2, 3, 6}) = 1, which means that the array has no common divisor other than 1, which is the required condition.

Input: arr[] = {10, 20, 30}, X = 4
Output: No

 

Approach: The idea is to use Euclidean’s GCD to find the GCD of the given array. This gives all the common factors of array elements. By removing all these factors, no common factor remains. Therefore, such an array can be generated. Otherwise, it is not possible to generate such an array.

Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  1. Initialize a variable, say G, to store the GCD of the given array.
  2. Traverse the array arr[] and compute the GCD and store it in a variable, say G.
  3. Iterate over the range [2, X] and check whether G has a divisor greater than X or not.
  4. If found to be true, then print “No”. Otherwise, print “Yes”.
  5. Otherwise, print the array elements after modifying the array by dividing all elements by G.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if it is possible
// to modify the array such that
// there is no common factor between
// array elements except 1
void checkCommonDivisor(int arr[],
                        int N, int X)
{
    // Stores GCD of the array
    int G = 0;
 
    // Calculate GCD of the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        G = __gcd(G, arr[i]);
    }
 
    int copy_G = G;
 
    for (int divisor = 2;
         divisor <= X; divisor++) {
 
        // If the current divisor
        // is smaller than X
        while (G % divisor == 0) {
 
            // Divide GCD by the
            // current divisor
            G = G / divisor;
        }
    }
 
    // If possible
    if (G <= X) {
        cout << "Yes\n";
 
        // Print the modified array
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
            cout << arr[i] / copy_G << " ";
        cout << endl;
    }
 
    // Otherwise
    else
        cout << "No";
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given array
    int arr[] = { 6, 15, 6 }, X = 6;
 
    // Size of the array
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    checkCommonDivisor(arr, N, X);
}
