Smallest n digit number divisible by given three numbers

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 13 Apr, 2021

Given x, y, z and n, find smallest n digit number which is divisible by x, y and z.
Examples:

Input : x = 2, y = 3, z = 5
        n = 4
Output : 1020

Input : x = 3, y = 5, z = 7
        n = 2
Output : Not possible

1) Find smallest n digit number is pow(10, n-1).
2) Find LCM of given 3 numbers x, y and z.
3) Find remainder of the LCM when divided by pow(10, n-1).
4) Add the “LCM – remainder” to pow(10, n-1). If this addition is still a n digit number, we return the result. Else we return Not possible.
Illustration :
Suppose n = 4 and x, y, z are 2, 3, 5 respectively.
1) First find the least four digit number i.e. 1000,
2) LCM of 2, 3, 5 so the LCM is 30.
3) Find the reminder of 1000 % 30 = 10
4) Subtract the remainder from LCM, 30 – 10 = 20. Result is 1000 + 20 = 1020.
Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find smallest n digit number
// which is divisible by x, y and z.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// LCM for x, y, z
int LCM(int x, int y, int z)
{
    int ans = ((x * y) / (__gcd(x, y)));
    return ((z * ans) / (__gcd(ans, z)));
}
 
// returns smallest n digit number divisible
// by x, y and z
int findDivisible(int n, int x, int y, int z)
{
    // find the LCM
    int lcm = LCM(x, y, z);
 
    // find power of 10 for least number
    int ndigitnumber = pow(10, n-1);
     
    // reminder after
    int reminder = ndigitnumber % lcm;
 
    // If smallest number itself divides
    // lcm.
    if (reminder == 0)
         return ndigitnumber;
 
    // add lcm- reminder number for
    // next n digit number
    ndigitnumber += lcm - reminder;
 
    // this condition check the n digit
    // number is possible or not
    // if it is possible it return
    // the number else return 0
    if (ndigitnumber < pow(10, n))
        return ndigitnumber;
    else
        return 0;
}
 
// driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 4, x = 2, y = 3, z = 5;
    int res = findDivisible(n, x, y, z);
 
    // if number is possible then
    // it print the number
    if (res != 0)
        cout << res;
    else
        cout << "Not possible";
 
    return 0;
}
