On a quick implementation of GCD - Greatest Common Divisor - Part II

Another example that requires a quick GCD implementation, back from Euclidian days. Despite the nested loops yielding an N^2 complexity, in addition to the LogN GCD (hence a time complexity of N^2 * LogN), N is relatively small (10^3) leading to a reasonable execution time. Code is below, cheers, ACC.

Number of Subarrays With GCD Equal to K - LeetCode

2447. Number of Subarrays With GCD Equal to K
Medium

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the number of subarrays of nums where the greatest common divisor of the subarray's elements is k.

subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

The greatest common divisor of an array is the largest integer that evenly divides all the array elements.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [9,3,1,2,6,3], k = 3
Output: 4
Explanation: The subarrays of nums where 3 is the greatest common divisor of all the subarray's elements are:
- [9,3,1,2,6,3]
- [9,3,1,2,6,3]
- [9,3,1,2,6,3]
- [9,3,1,2,6,3]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4], k = 7
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no subarrays of nums where 7 is the greatest common divisor of all the subarray's elements.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i], k <= 109

            for (int j = i; j < nums.Length; j++)
            {
                gcd = GCD(gcd, nums[j]);
                if (gcd == k) retVal++;
                else if (gcd < k) break;
            }
        }
        return retVal;

            int t = b;
            b = a % b;
            a = t;
