Given an array arr[] such that 1 <= arr[i] <= 10^12, the task is to find prime factors of LCM of array elements.
Examples:
Input : arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} Output : 2 3 5 7 // LCM of n elements is 840 and 840 = 2*2*2*3*5*7 // so prime factors would be 2, 3, 5, 7 Input : arr[] = {20, 10, 15, 60} Output : 2 3 5 // LCM of n elements is 60 and 60 = 2*2*3*5, // so prime factors would be 2,3,5
A simple solution for this problem is to find LCM of n elements in array. First initialize lcm = 1, then iterate for each element in array and find the lcm of previous result with new element using formula LCM(a, b) = (a * b) / gcd(a, b) i.e., lcm = (lcm * arr[i]) / gcd(lcm, arr[i]). After finding LCM of all n elements we can calculate all prime factors of LCM.
Since here constraints are large, we can not implement above method to solve this problem because while calculating LCM(a, b) we need to calculate a*b and if a,b both are of value 10^12 so it will exceed the limit of integer size. We proceed for this problem in another way using sieve of sundaram and prime factorization of a number. As we know if LCM(a,b) = k so any prime factor of a or b will also be the prime factor of ‘k’.
- Take an array factor[] of size 10^6 and initialize it with 0 because prime factor of any number are always less than and equal to its square root and in our constraint arr[i] <= 10^12.
- Generate all primes less than and equal to 10^6 and store them in another array.
- Now one by one calculate all prime factors of each number in array and mark them as 1 in factor[] array.
- Now traverse factor[] array and print all indexes which are marked as 1 because these will be prime factors of lcm of n numbers in given array.
Below is the implementation of above idea.
// C++ program to find prime factors of LCM of array elements #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;

// In general Sieve of Sundaram, produces primes smaller
// than (2*x + 2) for a number given number x. Since
// we want primes smaller than n, we reduce n to half
int nNew = (n)/2;
// This array is used to separate numbers of the form
// i+j+2ij from others where 1 <= i <= j

// Initialize all elements as not marked

int tmp= sqrt (n);
for ( int i=1; i<=(tmp-1)/2; i++)
for ( int j=(i*(i+1))<<1; j<=nNew; j=j+2*i+1)
marked[j] = true ;
// Since 2 is a prime number

// 2*i + 1 such that marked[i] is false.
