Given two arrays of n integers with values of the array being small (values never exceed a small number say 100). Find the pair(x, y) which has maximum gcd. x and y cannot be of the same array. If multiple pairs have the same gcd, then consider the pair which has the maximum sum.
Examples:
Input : a[] = {3, 1, 4, 2, 8} b[] = {5, 2, 12, 8, 3} Output : 8 8 Explanation: The maximum gcd is 8 which is of pair(8, 8). Input: a[] = {2, 3, 5} b[] = {7, 11, 13} Output: 5 13 Explanation: Every pair has a gcd of 1. The maximum sum pair with GCD 1 is (5, 13)
A naive approach will be to iterate for every pair in both the arrays and find out the maximum gcd possible. Below is the code for naive approach.
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
int gcd( int a, int b) {
if (b == 0) return a;
return gcd(b, a % b);
} int main() {
int a[] = {12, 18, 24};
int b[] = {36, 8, 72};
int m = sizeof (a)/ sizeof (a[0]);
int n = sizeof (b)/ sizeof (b[0]);
int max_gcd = INT_MIN;
int num1, num2;
for ( int i=0; i<m; i++) {
for ( int j=0; j<n; j++) {
int g = gcd(a[i], b[j]);
if (g > max_gcd) {
max_gcd = g;
num1 = a[i];
num2 = b[j];
}
}
}
cout << "Pair with greatest GCD: (" << num1 << ", " << num2 << ") with GCD: " << max_gcd << endl;
return 0;

Pair with greatest GCD: (24, 72) with GCD: 24
Time complexity : O(M*N) where M , N are the sizes of the array
Auxiliary space : O(1)
An efficient (only when elements are small) is to apply the sieve property and for that, we need to pre-calculate the following things.
- A cnt array to mark the presence of array elements.
- We check for all the numbers from 1 to N and for each multiple, we check that if the number exists then the max of the pre-existing number or the present existing multiple is stored.
- Step 1 and 2 is repeated for the other array also.
- At the end we check for the maximum multiple which is common in both first and second array to get the maximum GCD, and in the position of is stored the element, in first the element of an array is stored, and in second the element of b array is stored, so we print the pair.
Below is the implementation of the above approach :
// CPP program to find maximum GCD pair // from two arrays #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// Find the maximum GCD pair with maximum // sum void gcdMax( int a[], int b[], int n, int N)
{ // array to keep a count of existing elements

// first[i] and second[i] are going to store
// maximum multiples of i in a[] and b[]
// respectively.
int first[N] = { 0 }, second[N] = { 0 };
// traverse through the first array to
// mark the elements in cnt
for ( int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
cnt[a[i]] = 1;
// Find maximum multiple of every number
// in first array
for ( int i = 1; i < N; ++i)
for ( int j = i; j < N; j += i)
if (cnt[j])
first[i] = max(first[i], j);
// Find maximum multiple of every number
// in second array
// We re-initialise cnt[] and traverse
// through the second array to mark the
// elements in cnt

if (cnt[j])

// traverse for every elements and checks
// the maximum N that is present in both
