Largest number divisible by its digits
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

Find the largest base 10 integer whose digits are all different,   and   is evenly divisible by each of its individual digits.


These numbers are also known as   Lynch-Bell numbers,   numbers   n   such that the (base ten) digits are all different (and do not include zero)   and   n   is divisible by each of its individual digits.


Example

135   is evenly divisible by   1,   3,   and   5.


Note that the digit zero (0) can not be in the number as integer division by zero is undefined.

The digits must all be unique so a base ten number will have at most 9 digits.

Feel free to use analytics and clever algorithms to reduce the search space your example needs to visit, but it must do an actual search. (Don't just feed it the answer and verify it is correct.)

AWK

Base 10

Ruling out 9- and 8-digit numbers (see first paragraph in the Raku example), we are looking for 7-digit numbers. In order to be a solution such a number has to be divisible by 12 = 2*2*3, because its digits must contain at least 2 of the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8 (leading to a factor of 2*2) and its digits must contain at least one of the numbers 3, 6, 9 (leading to a factor of 3).

The program does a brute force search, starting with the largest possible 7-digit number and iterates over all smaller numbers divisible by 12. It checks for each iteration, if the number in question consists of different digits and is divisible by those digits.

# Usage: gawk -f LARGEST_NUMBER_DIVISIBLE_BY_ITS_DIGITS_10.AWK
BEGIN {
    base = 10
    comdiv = 12
    startn = 9876543
    stopn = 1000000
    solve(startn, stopn)
}
function solve(startn, stopn,    n, d) {
    for (n = startn - startn % comdiv; n > stopn; n -= comdiv) {
        if (hasuniqedigits(n)) {
            # Check divisibility of n by all its digits
            for (d = 2; d < base; d++) {
                if ((dcount[d]) && (n % d)) {
                    break
                }
            }
            if (d == base) {
                printf("%d\n", n)

Base 16

In the hexadecimal case we cannot rule out 15-digit numbers, thus all digits from 1 to f (hex) are present. The number has to be divisible by all its digits, therefore it has to be divisible by the least common multiple of the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 15 (360360).

AWK does not support arbitrary long integers, so we have to use an array of digits for its representation. It makes use of functions hexmod (modulus) and hexsub (subtraction), which act on an array.

The program does a brute force search, starting with the largest possible 15-digit number and iterates over all smaller numbers divisible by 360360. It checks for each iteration, if the number in question consists of different digits (by construction it is then also divisible by its digits).

    }

    r = hexmod(n, comdiv)

    while (n[size] > 0) {
        if (hasuniqedigits(n)) {
            for (i = size; i > 0; i--)
                printf("%0x", n[i])

The number can't contain 0 and 5, 0 is obvious, 5 because the number must end in 5 for it to be a multiple of that number and if that happens, all the even digits are ruled out which severely reduces the number's length since the other condition is that all digits must be unique. However, this means the number must be even and thus end only in 2,4,6,8. This speeds up the search by a factor of 2. The same approach when applied to hexadecimals takes a very long, long time.

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int num = 9876432,diff[] = {4,2,2,2},i,j,k=0;
	char str[10];
	
		start:snprintf(str,10,"%d",num);

		for(i=0;str[i+1]!=00;i++){
			if(str[i]=='0'||str[i]=='5'||num%(str[i]-'0')!=0){
				num -= diff[k];
				k = (k+1)%4;
				goto start;
			}
			for(j=i+1;str[j]!=00;j++)
				if(str[i]==str[j]){
					num -= diff[k];
					k = (k+1)%4;
					goto start;
			}
		}	
	
	printf("Number found : %d",num);
	return 0;
}

Skips unnecessary numbers, sorts the digits of the tested number (which makes it simple to find zeros and repeated digits). Stops as soon as it finds the first (highest) one. Determines the skip amount by finding the least common multiple of the product of the digits utilized. Base 10 uses all digits but digit five and digit zero, base 16 uses all digits but digit zero. Note that digit five is omitted in base 10 because it would eliminate the even numbers. The eight digits remaining cannot be evenly divided by three, so the base 10 result must have seven digits or less.

Both using Linq

For both bases, the digit 0 is unsuitable, because when you divide by zero, the result isn't a number.

For base 10, digit five is unsuitable for the following reason. Five can only be the last digit, because the result must be divisible by five. Since five is an odd number, all the even numbers must be removed. This means the maximum number of digits would only be four digits. (9735, 9315, or another combination ending in five, five digit combinations of 97315 are invalid because none of them are divisible by three). If an even number were to be the last digit, it could only be zero (to keep the divisible-by-five), and zero has already been kicked out.

This leaves 98764321. However, when all eight of those digits are in the same number, in any combination, that number cannot be evenly divided by three. Either digit one, digit four, or digit seven must be removed, leaving a seven digit number that is evenly divided by three.

Since digits nine, eight, six, three, and two become the required digits in the number, the following pattern occurs.

   9 81 72 63 54

Each of the paired numbers sum to nine. Both six and three are already required. Since there must be an eight, there must also be a one. Since there is a two, there must also be a seven. Since there is not a five, there must not be a four.

So the maximum number possible will be 9876312, the last digit of two, since the result must be even. Likewise, the minimum would be 1236798.

The base 10 step amount is 9 * 8 * 7. By stepping through the numbers by this amount, we avoid numbers that don't have all the factors of the individual digits.

For base 16, to construct the required step factor, we multiply the numbers 11 through 15 together.

This is a generic solution that works for any number base. Just change the line (def the_base 16). The performance may be questionable for large bases which do not have a Lynch-Bell number using all digits.

Rather than searching through all numbers with unique digits, a space whose size verges on N factorial, this algorithm instead works with the non-empty sets of non-zero digits, a space of size 2^(N-1) - 1. For a given subset, it finds the least common multiple for that subset and examines each multiple of the LCM which is between the largest and smallest positive numbers that can be constructed using each digit from that subset exactly once.

This program works by filtering all the 8-digit permutations (of which there are only ~40,000) for all-digit-divisibility, and upon finding none, it will then generate the 7-digit combinations (of which there are 8) of the 8 possible digits, and then filter all permutations of the 8 combinations for all-digit-divisibility. Upon finding many, it will simply select the largest element which is our answer. If there hadn't been any 7-digit solutions, it would have gone down to six and then five, etc.

Nim

Base 10

This version uses a combination of several algorithms, especially those of the C++ and the Go/Raku versions. But, to get the digits, instead of converting the number to a string it uses an iterator which is significantly faster. And to check digit uniqueness, it uses a very efficient bit set. The programs runs in less than 20ms.

type Digit = range[0..9]

iterator digits(n: int64): Digit =
  var n = n
  while true:
    yield n mod 10
    n = n div 10
    if n == 0: break

func isLynchBell(num: int64): bool =
  var hSet: set[Digit]
  for d in num.digits:
    if d == 0 or num mod d != 0 or d in hSet:
      return false
    hSet.incl(d)
  return true

const
  Magic = 9 * 8 * 7
  High = 0x9876432 div Magic * Magic

for n in countdown(High, Magic, Magic):
  if n.isLynchBell:
    echo n
    break
Output:
9867312

Base 16

This is the same algorithm adapted for base 16. The program runs in about 30ms.

%  Find the largest integer divisible by all it's digits, with no digit repeated.
%  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%  We go for a generic algorithm here.  Test for divisibility is done by
%  calculating the least common multiplier for all digits, and testing 
%  whether a candidate can be divided by the LCM without remainder.
%
%  Instead of iterating numbers and checking whether the number has 
%  repeating digits, it is more efficient to generate permutations of
%  digits and then convert to a number.  Doing it this way reduces search 
%  space greatly.
%
% Notes:
%  For decimal numbers we could improve times by testing only numbers
%  of length 7 (since 5x2=10 and 0 is not one of our digits, and 9x2=18 
%  which needs 2 digits to store), but that sort of logic does not 
%  hold for hexadecimal numbers.
%  We could also explicitly eliminate odd numbers, but the double validity 
%  check actually slows us down very slightly instead of speeding us up.

Both Base 10 & Base 16

Here is a stripped down version, as compared to the above, this may execute quicker. Note that only digit four need be removed the set of eight (98764321). Removing digit one or digit seven results in no seven digit solutions. Digit four appears in six digit solutions.

Also note that the divisor check can be omitted when stepping by the correct step factor in either base.

Every base 16 solution must end in eight, (in order to have all the divisor factors), so the maximum value can be dropped to 0xfedcba976543218.

Raku

Works with: Rakudo version 2017.08

Base 10

The number can not have a zero in it, that implies that it can not have a 5 either since if it has a 5, it must be divisible by 5, but the only numbers divisible by 5 end in 5 or 0. It can't be zero, and if it is odd, it can't be divisible by 2, 4, 6 or 8. So that leaves 98764321 as possible digits the number can contain. The sum of those 8 digits is not divisible by three so the largest possible integer must use no more than 7 of them (since 3, 6 and 9 would be eliminated). Strictly by removing possibilities that cannot possibly work we are down to at most 7 digits.

We can deduce that the digit that won't get used is one of 1, 4, or 7 since those are the only ones where the removal will yield a sum divisible by 3. It is extremely unlikely be 1, since EVERY number is divisible by 1. Removing it reduces the number of digits available but doesn't gain anything as far as divisibility. It is unlikely to be 7 since 7 is prime and can't be made up of multiples of other numbers. Practically though, the code to accommodate these observations is longer running and more complex than just brute-forcing it from here.

In order to accommodate the most possible digits, the number must be divisible by 7, 8 and 9. If that is true then it is automatically divisible by 2, 3, 4, & 6 as they can all be made from the combinations of multiples of 2 and 3 which are present in 8 & 9; so we'll only bother to check multiples of 9 * 8 * 7 or 504.

All these optimizations get the run time to well under 1 second.

my $magic-number = 9 * 8 * 7;                        # 504

my $div = 9876432 div $magic-number * $magic-number; # largest 7 digit multiple of 504 < 9876432

for $div, { $_ - $magic-number } ... * -> $test {    # only generate multiples of 504
    next if $test ~~ / <[05]> /;                     # skip numbers containing 0 or 5
    next if $test ~~ / (.).*$0 /;                    # skip numbers with non unique digits

    say "Found $test";                               # Found a solution, display it
    for $test.comb {
        printf "%s / %s = %s\n", $test, $_, $test / $_;
    }
    last
}

There are fewer analytical optimizations available for base 16. Other than 0, no digits can be ruled out so a much larger space must be searched. We'll start at the largest possible permutation (FEDCBA987654321) and work down so as soon as we find a solution, we know it is the solution. The combination of .race with .first lets us utilize concurrency and exit early when the single desired solution is found.

my $hex = 'FEDCBA987654321';        # largest possible hex number
my $magic-number = [lcm] 1 .. 15;   # find least common multiple
my $div = :16($hex) div $magic-number * $magic-number;

# hunt for target stepping backwards in multiples of the lcm
my $target = ($div, * - $magic-number ... 0).race.first: -> \test {
    my \num= test.base(16);
    (num.contains('0') || num.comb.Bag.values.max > 1) ?? False !! True
};
my $hexnum = $target.base(16);

say "Found $hexnum"; # Found a solution, display it

say ' ' x 12, 'In base 16', ' ' x 36, 'In base 10';
for $hexnum.comb {
    printf "%s / %s = %s  |  %d / %2d = %19d\n",
        $hexnum, $_, ($target / :16($_)).base(16),
        $target, :16($_), $target / :16($_);}

Scala

base 10

This example starts with a lazily evaluated list of decreasing decimal numbers, starting with 98764321 (5 is eliminated as per the Pearl 6 analysis). It applies a filter to only accept numbers with distinct, nonzero digits that all divide the number itself, and then returns the head of the list.

import scala.collection.mutable

def largestDecimal: Int = Iterator.from(98764321, -1).filter(chkDec).next
def chkDec(num: Int): Boolean = {
  val set = mutable.HashSet[Int]()
  num.toString.toVector.map(_.asDigit).forall(d => (d != 0) && (num%d == 0) && set.add(d))
}
Output:

base 16

While concise, the previous example is relatively slow, taking nearly 30 seconds to complete. So, instead of simply moving on to a base 16 version, this next example is a fast version for arbitrary base. Starting with a list of digits generated from the given base, the program generates a lazily evaluated list of all possible combinations of digits in blocks of decreasing length. Each block is passed to a function that generates a list of numbers for each combination which are divisible by all the digits, then filters it for numbers which are made up of the required digits. The blocks are checked in order until a number is found.

import spire.math.SafeLong
import spire.implicits._

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    for(b <- Seq(10, 16)){

Translation of: AWK

The integers here are too large (>= 2^53) to be accurately represented by Wren and so we follow the AWK approach of using an array of digits to represent them.

var digits = "0123456789abcdef"
var base = 16
var size = 15
var comDiv = 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11

// Returns n mod k, where n is an array and k is a number
var hexMod = Fn.new { |n, k|
    var r = 0
    for (i in size..1) r = (r*base + n[i]) % k
    return r
}

// Calculates n = n - m, where n is an array and m is a number
var hexSub = Fn.new { |n, m|
    var i = 1
    while (m != 0 && i <= size) {
        n[i] = n[i] - (m%base)
        m = (m/base).floor
        if (n[i] < 0) {
            n[i] = n[i] + base
            m = m + 1
        }
        i = i + 1

XPL0

Assumes answer contains either a 2, 4, 6 or 8 and is thus divisible by 2. Also assumes answer contains either a 3, 6 or 9 and is thus divisible by 3. Takes 9.7 seconds on Pi4 (with XPL0 ver 3.2).

int Digits;     \bit array

func AllDiv(N); \Return 'true' if N is divisible by its digits
int  N, D;
[for D:= 9 downto 2 do
    if 1<<D & Digits then
        if rem(N/D) # 0 then return false;
return true;
];

func Unique(N); \Return 'true' if N contains unique digits
int  N;
[Digits:= 1;    \disallow 0
while N do
    [N:= N/10;
    if 1<<rem(0) & Digits then return false;
    Digits:= 1<<rem(0) ! Digits;
