Check if the square of a number is divisible by K or not

Last Updated : 12 Nov, 2021

Given two integers, X and K, the task is to find if X² is divisible by K or not. Here, both K and X can lie in the range [1,10¹⁸].

Examples:

Input: X = 6, K = 9
Output: YES
Explanation:
Since 6² is equal to 36, which is divisible by 9.

Input: X = 7, K = 21
Output: NO
Explanation:
Since 7² is equal to 49, which is not divisible by 21.

Approach:
As mentioned above, X can lie in the range [1,10¹⁸], so we can not directly check if X² is divisible by K or not as it can cause a memory overflow. Hence the efficient approach is to first calculate the Greatest Common Divisor of X and K. After the GCD is calculated, we will take it as the maximum portion which we can divide from X and K. Reduce K by GCD and check if X is divisible by the reduced K or not.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation to 
// check if the square of X is
// divisible by K

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to return if 
// square of X is divisible 
// by K
void checkDivisible(int x, int k)
{
    // Finding gcd of x and k
    int g = __gcd(x, k);

    // Dividing k by their gcd
    k /= g;

    // Check for divisibility of X
    // by reduced K
    if (x % k == 0) {
        cout << "YES\n";
    }
    else {
        cout << "NO\n";
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int x = 6, k = 9;
    checkDivisible(x, k);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation to 
// check if the square of X is
// divisible by K

class GFG{

// Function to return if 
// square of X is divisible 
// by K
static void checkDivisible(int x, int k)
{
    // Finding gcd of x and k
    int g = __gcd(x, k);

    // Dividing k by their gcd
    k /= g;

    // Check for divisibility of X
    // by reduced K
    if (x % k == 0) 
    {
        System.out.print("YES\n");
    }
    else 
    {
        System.out.print("NO\n");
    }
}
static int __gcd(int a, int b) 
{ 
    return b == 0 ? a : __gcd(b, a % b);     
}

// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int x = 6, k = 9;
    checkDivisible(x, k);
}
}
