Solution: Find the Smallest Divisor Given a Threshold
Understand how to apply a modified binary search to find the smallest divisor for an integer array that keeps the sum of ceiling divisions within a given threshold. This lesson guides you through implementing the binary search steps, optimizing search space, and analyzing time and space complexities.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given an integer array nums and an integer threshold, choose a positive integer divisor such that when every element in nums is divided by divisor (with each result rounded up to the nearest integer), the total sum of the divided values is less than or equal to threshold. Return the smallest such divisor.
Note: Each division result is rounded up to the nearest integer (ceiling division). For example:
and . It is guaranteed that a valid answer always exists.
