Largest number smaller than or equal to N divisible by K in C++


In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that finds the number that is smaller than or equal to N and divisible by k.

Let's see the steps to solve the problem.

  • Initialise the numbers n and k.
  • Find the remainder with modulo operator.
  • If the remainder is zero, then return n.
  • Else return n - remainder.

Example

Let's see the code.

 Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int findLargerNumber(int n, int k) {
   int remainder = n % k;
   if (remainder == 0) {
      return n;
   }
   return n - remainder;
}
int main() {
   int n = 33, k = 5;
   cout << findLargerNumber(n, k) << endl;
   return 0;
}

Output

If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.

30
