1015. Smallest Integer Divisible by K

Description

Given a positive integer k, you need to find the length of the smallest positive integer n such that n is divisible by k, and n only contains the digit 1.

Return the length of n. If there is no such n, return -1.

Note: n may not fit in a 64-bit signed integer.

 

Example 1:

Input: k = 1
Output: 1
Explanation: The smallest answer is n = 1, which has length 1.

Example 2:

Input: k = 2
Output: -1
Explanation: There is no such positive integer n divisible by 2.

Example 3:

Input: k = 3
Output: 3
Explanation: The smallest answer is n = 111, which has length 3.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= k <= 105

 

Solutions

Solution: Math

  • Time complexity: O(n)
  • Space complexity: O(n)

 

JavaScript

js
/**
 * @param {number} k
 * @return {number}
 */
const smallestRepunitDivByK = function (k) {
  if (k % 2 === 0 || k % 5 === 0) return -1;

  const seenSet = new Set();
  let current = 0;

  for (let length = 1; length <= k; length++) {
    current = (current * 10 + 1) % k;

    if (current === 0) return length;
    if (seenSet.has(current)) return -1;

    seenSet.add(current);
  }

  return -1;
};
