PROBLEM:
You are given two integers N and K. Your task is to find the smallest whole number value of N that can be obtained by operating N=N−K any number of times.
QUICK EXPLANATION:
The smallest whole number that can be obtained is the remainder when N is divided by K.
EXPLANATION:
We need to find the smallest whole number that can be obtained by operation N=N-K any number of times. Since we can operate any number of times, we say that our answer will be N-(X*K), such that:
Click here
N-(X*K) \ge 0N \ge X*KX \le N/K
Since our goal is to minimize the value of the whole number, that means we need to maximize the value of X. The maximum value that X can take is \lfloor \frac{N}{K} \rfloor. That is nothing but the quotient when N is divided by K. Hence our answer will be:
which is nothing but just (N % K). Hence the smallest whole number that can be obtained is the remainder when N is divided by K.
TIME COMPLEXITY:
O(1) per test case.
