Given an integer N, the task is to find the smallest positive integer, which when multiplied by N, has sum of digits equal to the sum of digits of N.

Examples:

Input: N = 4
Output: 28
Explanation: 

  • Sum of digits of N = 4
  • 4 * 28 = 112
  • Sum of digits = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4, which is equal to sum of digits of N.

Input: N = 3029
Output: 37
Explanation: 

  • Sum of digits of N = 3 + 0 + 2 + 9 = 14
  • 3029 * 37 = 112073
  • Sum of digits = 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 7 + 3 = 14, which is equal to sum of digits of N.
 

Approach: Follow the steps to solve the problem:

  1. Since N can be large, take the input of N as a string. Calculate the sum of digits of N and store it in a variable, say S.
  2. Since the answer needs to exceed 10, starting from number 11, multiply it with N and store it in a variable, say res.
  3. Calculate the sum of digits of res and check if the sum of digits of res is equal to the S or not. If found to be true, then print the integer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the minimum
// integer having sum of digits
// of a number multiplied by n
// equal to sum of digits of n
void find_num(string n)
{
   
    // Initialize answer
    int ans = 0;
    int sumOfDigitsN = 0;
   
    // Find sum of digits of N
    for(int c = 0; c < n.length(); c++)
    {
        sumOfDigitsN += n - '0';
         
    }
    int x=11;
       
    while(true)
    {
        // Multiply N with x
        int newNum = x * stoi(n);
        int tempSumDigits = 0;
        string temp = to_string(newNum);
       
        // Sum of digits of the new number
        for(int c = 0; c < temp.length(); c++)
        {
            tempSumDigits += temp - '0';
        }
       
        // If condition satisfies
        if (tempSumDigits == sumOfDigitsN)
        {
            ans = x;
            break;
        }
        //increase x
          x++;
    }
   
    // Print answer
    cout << ans << endl;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string N = "3029";
   
    // Function call
    find_num(N);
    return 0;
}
