将给定阵列减少到其 LCM 所需的 LCM 对的最小替换

给定一个由N 个正整数组成的数组arr[] ，任务是从给定数组中找到最小数量的对(arr[i], arr[j])需要用它们的 LCM 替换，以便减少数组到等于初始数组的 LCM 的单个元素。
例子：

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4} 
Output: 3 
Explanation: 
LCM of the array = 12 
Step 1: LCM(3, 4) = 12. Therefore array is modified to {1, 2, 12} 
Step 2: LCM(1, 12) = 12. Therefore array is modified to {2, 12} 
Step 3: LCM(2, 12) = 12. Therefore array is modified to {12}
Input: arr[] = {7, 9, 3} 
Output: 2 
Explanation: 
LCM of the array = 63 
Step 1: LCM(7, 9) = 63. Therefore array is modified to {63, 3} 
Step 2: LCM(63, 3) = 63. Therefore array is modified to {63} 
 

朴素的方法：这个想法是生成所有可能的对，对于每一对，用它们的LCM替换它们，并计算将它们减少到等于它们的 LCM 的单个数组元素所需的步骤数。打印所需的最少操作次数。
时间复杂度： O((N!)*log N)
辅助空间： O(N)

高效的方法：上述方法可以基于以下观察进行优化：

• 数组的 LCM 等于数组中所有素数的乘积。
• 在(X – 1)步中，所有X个素数的LCM可以用两个数成对得到。
• 在接下来的(N – 2)步中，将其余(N – 2) 个元素转换为数组的 LCM。
• 因此，总步数由下式给出：

(N – 2) + (X – 1) for N > 2 
 

• 对于N = 1 ，操作次数为0 ，对于N = 2 ，操作次数为1 。

脚步：

1. 如果 N = 1 则步数为0 。
2. 如果 N = 2 则步数为1 。
3. 使用 Sieve Of Eratosthenes 生成最多N 的所有素数。
4. 将素数的数量存储在一个变量中，比如X 。
5. 操作总数由下式给出：

(N – 2) + (X – 1) for N > 2  

下面是上述方法的实现：

const int maxm = 10001;
 
// Boolean array to set or unset
// prime non-prime indices

{
    memset(prime, true, sizeof(prime));
 
    for (int p = 2; p * p < maxm; p++) {
 
        // If p is a prime
        if (prime[p] == true) {
 
            // Set its multiples as

                i += p)
                prime[i] = false;
        }

            + prime[i];
}

void min_steps(int arr[], int n)
