Minimum Deletions to Make Array Divisible

arraymathsorting

Problem Statement

You are given two positive integer arrays nums and numsDivide . You can delete any number of elements from nums .

Return the minimum number of deletions such that the smallest element in nums divides all the elements of numsDivide . If this is not possible, return -1 .

Note that an integer x divides y if y % x == 0 .

Examples

Example 1
Input: nums = [2,3,2,4,3], numsDivide = [9,6,9,3,15]
Output: 2
The smallest element in [2,3,2,4,3] is 2, which does not divide all the elements of numsDivide. We use 2 deletions to delete the elements in nums that are equal to 2 which makes nums = [3,4,3]. The smallest element in [3,4,3] is 3, which divides all the elements of numsDivide. It can be shown that 2 is the minimum number of deletions needed.
Example 2
Input: nums = [4,3,6], numsDivide = [8,2,6,10]
Output: -1
We want the smallest element in nums to divide all the elements of numsDivide. There is no way to delete elements from nums to allow this.

Constraints

1 <= nums.length, numsDivide.length <= 10 ^5
1 <= nums[i], numsDivide[i] <= 10 ^9
