  • Last Updated : 05 Jun, 2021
  
  Given an array arr[] of N integers, the task is to find the largest subset of arr[] such that in every pair of numbers from that subset, one number is a divisor of the other.
  Examples:
  
  Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
  Output: 4 2 1
  All possible pairs of the subsequence are:
  (4, 2) -> 4 % 2 = 0
  (4, 1) -> 4 % 1 = 0
  and (2, 1) -> 2 % 1 = 0
  Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 4, 9}
  Output: 1 3 9

  Approach: Here the task is to find the largest subset where in every pair of numbers, one is divisible by the other i.e. for the sequence a1, a2, a3 … ak where a1 â‰¤ a2 â‰¤ … â‰¤ ak and ai+1 % ai = 0 for every i. This sequence can be found using dynamic programming (similar to longest increasing subsequence).
  Below is the implementation of the above approach:
  
  ## C++
  
   `// C++ implementation of the approach``#include ``using` `namespace` `std;` `// Function to find the required subsequence``void` `findSubSeq(``int` `arr[], ``int` `n)``{` `    ``// Sort the array``    ``sort(arr, arr + n);` `    ``// Keep a count of the length of the``    ``// subsequence and the previous element``    ``int` `count[n] = { 1 };``    ``int` `prev[n] = { -1 };` `    ``// Set the initial values``    ``memset``(count, 1, ``sizeof``(count));``    ``memset``(prev, -1, ``sizeof``(prev));` `    ``// Maximum length of the subsequence and``    ``// the last element``    ``int` `max = 0;``    ``int` `maxprev = -1;` `    ``// Run a loop for every element``    ``for` `(``int` `i = 0; i < n; i++) {` `        ``// Check for all the divisors``        ``for` `(``int` `j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--) {` `            ``// If the element is a divisor and the length``            ``// of subsequence will increase by adding``            ``// j as previous element of i``            ``if` `(arr[i] % arr[j] == 0``                ``&& count[j] + 1 > count[i]) {` `                ``// Increase the count``                ``count[i] = count[j] + 1;``                ``prev[i] = j;``            ``}``        ``}` `        ``// Update the max count``        ``if` `(max < count[i]) {``            ``max = count[i];``            ``maxprev = i;``        ``}``    ``}` `    ``// Get the last index of the subsequence``    ``int` `i = maxprev;``    ``while` `(i >= 0) {` `        ``// Print the element``        ``if` `(arr[i] != -1)``            ``cout << arr[i] << ``" "``;` `        ``// Move the index to the previous element``        ``i = prev[i];``    ``}``}` `// Driver code``int` `main()``{``    ``int` `arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };``    ``int` `n = ``sizeof``(arr) / ``sizeof``(``int``);` `    ``findSubSeq(arr, n);` `    ``return` `0;``}`
