B - 全員参加できる会議室 / Meeting Room Where Everyone Can Attend Editorial by admin
Claude 4.5 OpusOverview
This problem asks us to determine whether there exists a meeting room number \(j\) that all employees can attend. This can be solved by checking whether the least common multiple (LCM) of all \(P_i\) is at most \(M\).
Analysis
Rephrasing the Problem
Employee \(i\) can attend “meeting rooms whose numbers are multiples of \(P_i\)”. In other words, for all employees to be able to attend meeting room number \(j\), \(j\) must be a multiple of all \(P_i\).
Key Insight
“The smallest positive integer that is a multiple of all \(P_i\)” is the least common multiple (LCM) of \(P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_N\).
For example, if \(P = [2, 3, 4]\): - Multiples of \(2\): \(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\) - Multiples of \(3\): \(3, 6, 9, 12, \ldots\) - Multiples of \(4\): \(4, 8, 12, \ldots\) - Common multiples: \(12, 24, 36, \ldots\) (LCM = 12)
Therefore, if \(\text{LCM}(P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_N) \leq M\), output Yes; otherwise, output No.
Problem with the Naive Approach
Since \(M\) can be as large as \(10^{18}\), checking each number from \(1\) to \(M\) sequentially would result in TLE. We need to compute the LCM directly and compare.
Handling Overflow
When values of \(P_i\) are large, the LCM can become extremely large. While Python doesn’t have integer overflow issues, computation can become slow. Therefore, we terminate early as soon as the LCM exceeds \(M\) during calculation.
Algorithm
- Initialize LCM to \(1\)
- For each \(P_i\), compute the LCM of the current LCM and \(P_i\)
- \(\text{LCM}(a, b) = \frac{a}{\gcd(a, b)} \times b\) (perform division first to prevent overflow)
- If LCM exceeds \(M\), output
Noand terminate immediately - If LCM remains at most \(M\) after processing all \(P_i\), output
Yes
Concrete Example
Input: \(N=3, M=12, P=[2, 3, 4]\)
| Step | Operation | current_lcm |
|---|---|---|
| Initial | - | \(1\) |
| 1 | \(\text{LCM}(1, 2) = 2\) | \(2\) |
| 2 | \(\text{LCM}(2, 3) = 6\) | \(6\) |
| 3 | \(\text{LCM}(6, 4) = 12\) | \(12\) |
Since \(12 \leq 12\), output Yes
Complexity
- Time complexity: \(O(N \log(\max P_i))\)
- Computing GCD for each \(P_i\) takes \(O(\log(\max P_i))\)
- Space complexity: \(O(N)\)
- Required to store the input array \(P\)
Implementation Notes
Order of LCM calculation: Writing \(a / \gcd(a, b) \times b\) instead of \(a \times b / \gcd(a, b)\) keeps intermediate values smaller.
Early termination: By immediately outputting
Noas soon as LCM exceeds \(M\), we avoid unnecessary computation. This allows efficient handling even when the LCM would become astronomically large.Python’s math.gcd: Since Python 3.5,
math.gcdis available in the standard library, so there’s no need to implement GCD yourself.
Source Code
import math
from functools import reduce
def solve():
N, M = map(int, input().split())
P = list(map(int, input().split()))
# Meeting room number j that all employees can attend must be a multiple of all P_i
# In other words, j must be a multiple of the LCM of all P_i
# Check whether such j exists in the range from 1 to M
# → If LCM(P_1, P_2, ..., P_N) <= M, then Yes
def lcm(a, b):
return a // math.gcd(a, b) * b
# Calculate LCM (with early termination if it exceeds M to handle overflow)
current_lcm = 1
for p in P:
current_lcm = lcm(current_lcm, p)
if current_lcm > M:
print("No")
return
print("Yes")
