On solving a problem PRLCM:
SPOJ.com - Problem PRLCM[^]

I used O(n^2) algorithm
for 1sec I'm looking for some more efficient approach
I would be helpful if someone help out.

What I have tried:

C++
#include <bits stdc++.h="">
#define ll long long int
#define f(i, a, b) for (us i = a; i < b; i++)
#define vi vector<us>
#define pb push_back
#define us unsigned long long int
#define endl '\n'
#define mod 998244353
#define mp make_pair
#define pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433
using namespace std;
us solve(us arr[], us);
us lcm(us, us);
us solve(us arr[], us n)
{
    us sum = 0;

    for (us i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
    {
        for (us j = i + 1; j < n; j++)
        {
            sum = sum + lcm(arr[i], arr[j]);
        }
        sum = sum % mod;
    }
    return sum;
}
int main()
{
    ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
    cin.tie(0);
    ll t = 1;
    while (t--)
    {
        us n;
        cin >> n;
        us arr[n];
        for (us i = 0; i < n; i++)
            cin >> arr[i];
        cout << solve(arr, n);
    }
    return 0;
}

us lcm(us x, us y)
{
    return ((x*y)/__gcd(x,y));
}

Remove the while loop, it serves no purpose.

ya! its a part of default competative code for multiple cases , other than that if you please help in algorithm like how to select all possible pairs and something like that

Sorry, no idea, I stay well clear of those websites.

The idea of problems like this is that you work out an efficient algorithm to solve it, learning in the process how to analyse a problem and evaluate viable solutions.

Us doing that part for you turns it into a straight "convert this to code" problem and that isn't the point at all - you learn nothing about anything useful.

Like Richard, I don't go near such sites - the problems are well away from the real-world problems I n3eed to solve so they are of no real interest to me: but read the question carefully, and come up with a few different ways to do it manually - then evaluate them for efficiency.

On first look, the problem is essentially O(N²), so optimizations are only marginally possible.
What is your problem with this code ?

"constraints of the question"
it gives TLE on higher outputs
