Smallest subarray with product divisible by k

Given an array of non-negative numbers, find length of smallest subarray whose product is a multiple of k.

Examples :

Input : arr[] = {1, 9, 16, 5, 4, 3, 2}   
        k = 720
Output: 3
The smallest subarray is {9, 16, 5} whose
product is 720.

Input : arr[] = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6}
        K = 96
Output : No such subarray exists

The idea is simple. We traverse through all subarrays. For each subarray, we compute its product. If the product is multiple of k, we check if length of the subarray is smaller than current result.

// with product divisible by k. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// function to find the subarray of 
// minimum length and end of sub array 
int findsubArray(int arr[], int k) 
{ 
    // find the length of array 
    int n = 7; 
  
    // try of every sub array whether it  
    // result in multiple of k or not if it 
    // is store it in the result 
    // and find for the minimum using 
    // dynamic programming 
    int res = n + 1; 
      
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { 
  
        // Find minimum length product  
        // beginning with arr[i].  
        int curr_prod = 1;  
          
        for (int j = i; j < n; j++) {              
            curr_prod = curr_prod * arr[j];              
              
            if (curr_prod % k == 0 && res 
                                > (j - i + 1))  
            { 
                res = min(res, j - i + 1);  
                break; 
            } 
        } 
    } 
      
    return (res == n + 1) ? 0 : res; 
}

    if (answer != 0) 
        cout<<answer<<"\n"; 
    else
        cout<<"No Such subarray exists."<<"\n";
