1726. Tuple with Same Product

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 <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • All elements in nums are 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 $a \times b = c \times d$, there are a total of $\mathrm{C}_n^2 = \frac{n \times (n-1)}{2}$ 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 $O(n^2)$, and the space complexity is $O(n^2)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array.
