Smallest number greater than or equal to N divisible by K

Given a number N and a number K, the task is to find the smallest number greater than or equal to N which is divisible by K.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 45, K = 6
Output: 48
48 is the smallest number greater than or equal to 45
which is divisible by 6.

Input: N = 11, K = 3
Output: 12

 

Approach:

Approach to solve this problem would be to start from N and check each number one by one until we find a number that is divisible by K. We can use a while loop to keep incrementing N until we find a number that is divisible by K.

Here are the steps of approach:

  1. We start with N and check each number one by one until we find a number that is divisible by K.
  2. We use a while loop to keep incrementing N until we find a number that is divisible by K. 
  3. Once we find the smallest number greater than or equal to N that is divisible by K, we return it.
     

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the smallest number
// greater than or equal to N
// that is divisible by k
int findNum(int N, int K)
{
    while (N % K != 0) {
        N++;
    }
    return N;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 45, K = 6;
 
    cout << "Smallest number greater than or equal to " << N
        << "\nthat is divisible by " << K << " is " << findNum(N, K);
 
    return 0;
}


Output

Smallest number greater than or equal to 45
that is divisible by 6 is 48

Time Complexity: O(K), where K is the divisor. The while loop will run at most K times before finding a number that is divisible by K.

Space Complexity: O(1), because we are only using a constant amount of extra space to store the input variables

Approach: The idea is to divide the N+K by K. If the remainder is 0 then print N else print N + K – remainder.
Below is the implementation of the above approach :
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the smallest number
// greater than or equal to N
// that is divisible by k
int findNum(int N, int K)
{
    int rem = (N + K) % K;
 
    if (rem == 0)
        return N;
    else
        return N + K - rem;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 45, K = 6;
 
    cout << "Smallest number greater than or equal to " << N
         << "\nthat is divisible by " << K << " is " << findNum(N, K);
 
    return 0;
}
