Given a large positive number as string, count all rotations of the given number which are divisible by 8.
Examples:
Input: 8 Output: 1 Input: 40 Output: 1 Rotation: 40 is divisible by 8 04 is not divisible by 8 Input : 13502 Output : 0 No rotation is divisible by 8 Input : 43262488612 Output : 4
Approach: For large numbers it is difficult to rotate and divide each number by 8. Therefore, ‘divisibility by 8’ property is used which says that a number is divisible by 8 if the last 3 digits of the number is divisible by 8. Here we do not actually rotate the number and check last 8 digits for divisibility, instead we count consecutive sequence of 3 digits (in circular way) which are divisible by 8.
Illustration:
Consider a number 928160 Its rotations are 928160, 092816, 609281, 160928, 816092, 281609. Now form consecutive sequence of 3-digits from the original number 928160 as mentioned in the approach. 3-digit: (9, 2, 8), (2, 8, 1), (8, 1, 6), (1, 6, 0),(6, 0, 9), (0, 9, 2) We can observe that the 3-digit number formed by the these sets, i.e., 928, 281, 816, 160, 609, 092, are present in the last 3 digits of some rotation. Thus, checking divisibility of these 3-digit numbers gives the required number of rotations.
Output:
Rotations: 4
Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of digits in the input number.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
