Number of Subarrays With LCM Equal to K — LeetCode 2470 Python Solution

The problem

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the number of subarrays of nums where the least common multiple of the subarray's elements is k. A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example

Input

nums = [3,6,2,7,1], k = 6

Output

4

Explanation

The subarrays of nums where 6 is the least common multiple of all the subarray's elements are:

Python solution

class Solution:
    def subarrayLCM(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
        n = len(nums)
        ans = 0
        for i in range(n):
            a = nums[i]
            for b in nums[i:]:
                x = lcm(a, b)
                ans += x == k
                a = x
        return ans
