Kth number from the set of multiples of numbers A , B and C | Java implementation of the above approach ; Function to return the GCD of A and B ; Function to return the LCM of A and B ; Function to return the Kth element from the required set if it a multiple of A ; Start and End for Binary Search ; If no answer found return - 1 ; Inclusion and Exclusion ; Multiple should be smaller ; Multiple should be bigger ; Function to return the Kth element from the required set if it a multiple of B ; Start and End for Binary Search ; If no answer found return - 1 ; Inclusion and Exclusion ; Multiple should be smaller ; Multiple should be bigger ; Function to return the Kth element from the required set if it a multiple of C ; Start and End for Binary Search ; If no answer found return - 1 ; Inclusion and Exclusion ; Multiple should be smaller ; Multiple should be bigger ; Function to return the Kth element from the set of multiples of A , B and C ; Apply binary search on the multiples of A ; If the required element is not a multiple of A then the multiples of B and C need to be checked ; If the required element is neither a multiple of A nor a multiple of B then the multiples of C need to be checked ; Driver code
