Description
Given an array nums of distinct positive integers, return the number of tuples (a, b, c, d) such that a * b = c * d where a, b, c, and d are elements of nums, and a != b != c != d.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,3,4,6] Output: 8 Explanation: There are 8 valid tuples: (2,6,3,4) , (2,6,4,3) , (6,2,3,4) , (6,2,4,3) (3,4,2,6) , (4,3,2,6) , (3,4,6,2) , (4,3,6,2)
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,2,4,5,10] Output: 16 Explanation: There are 16 valid tuples: (1,10,2,5) , (1,10,5,2) , (10,1,2,5) , (10,1,5,2) (2,5,1,10) , (2,5,10,1) , (5,2,1,10) , (5,2,10,1) (2,10,4,5) , (2,10,5,4) , (10,2,4,5) , (10,2,5,4) (4,5,2,10) , (4,5,10,2) , (5,4,2,10) , (5,4,10,2)
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10001 <= nums[i] <= 104- All elements in
numsare distinct.
Solutions
Solution 1: Combination + Hash Table
Assuming there are n pairs of numbers, for any two pairs of numbers a, b and c, d that satisfy the condition a × b = c × d, there are a total of C_n2 = n × (n-1)⁄2 such combinations.
According to the problem description, each combination that satisfies the above condition can form 8 tuples that satisfy the problem requirements. Therefore, we can multiply the number of combinations with the same product by 8 (equivalent to left shifting by 3 bits) and add them up to get the result.
The time complexity is O(n2), and the space complexity is O(n2). Here, n is the length of the array.
