The Statement

Given an integer $$$n$$$ and a binary table $$$A[n][n]$$$

We are asked to find maximum $$$x$$$ that exist a binary table $$$B\left[\left \lceil \frac{n}{x} \right \rceil \right]\left[\left \lceil \frac{n}{x} \right \rceil \right]$$$

That this equation is satisfied $$$B\left[\left \lceil \frac{i}{x} \right \rceil \right]\left[\left \lceil \frac{j}{x} \right \rceil \right]$$$ $$$= A[i][j]\ \forall\ 1 \leq i, j \leq n$$$ (sorry but I dont know why the latex is broken like that)

The solution

So my approach is to check for all $$$v | n$$$ if there is exist such table.

Let call a square $$$(lx, ly)$$$ is a subtable $$$A[lx..rx][ly..ry]$$$ for

$$$\begin{cases} 1 \leq lx \leq rx \leq n\\ 1 \leq ly \leq ry \leq n\\ rx - lx + 1 = v\\ ry - ly + 1 = v\\ v\ |\ rx\\ v\ |\ ry\\ \end{cases}$$$

So there are $$$\frac{n}{v} \times \frac{n}{v}$$$ such subtables

Binary Table $$$B[][]$$$ will exist if and only if $$$A[x][y] = A[u][v]$$$ for all subtables $$$(lx, ly)$$$ and $$$lx \leq x, u \leq rx$$$ and $$$ly \leq y, v \leq ry$$$

My solution is just check for all $$$x\ |\ n$$$ from $$$n$$$ downto $$$1$$$.

If $$$x$$$ is satisfied then just simply output it.

The checking can simply be done using partial sum matrix.

The complexity will be $$$\underset{x|n}{\Large \Sigma} \left(\frac{n}{x} \right)^2 = n^2 \times \underset{x|n}{\Large \Sigma} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2 = n^2 \times \frac{\pi^2}{6} = O(n^2)$$$

This give us a simple solution that run in $$$373 ms$$$.

            a[i][j + 0] = v >> 3 & 1;
            a[i][j + 1] = v >> 2 & 1;
            a[i][j + 2] = v >> 1 & 1;
            a[i][j + 3] = v >> 0 & 1;
        }
    }
 
    /// Constructing partialsum table
    for (int i = 0; i <= n; ++i) b[i][0] = b[0][i] = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i)
        for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j)
            b[i][j] = b[i - 1][j] + b[i][j - 1] - b[i - 1][j - 1] + a[i][j];
 
    /// Find answer
    for (int x = n; x >= 1; --x)
        if (n % x == 0 && check(x))
            return cout << x, 0;
 
    return 0;
}

My Hacking Question

For brute-force version, I check it by comparing each position one by one.

So the complexity seems to be at most $$$O(d(n) \times n^2)$$$ and atleast $$$O(n^2)$$$.

It should fail but it didnt, it passed in $$$1216 ms$$$

bool check(int scale) /// Check if this scaling is valid

    for (int lx = 1, rx = scale; lx <= n; lx += scale, rx += scale)
        for (int ly = 1, ry = scale; ly <= n; ly += scale, ry += scale)
            for (int x = lx; x <= rx; ++x)
                for (int y = ly; y <= ry; ++y)
                    if (a[x][y] != a[lx][ly])
                        return false;
 
    return true;
}
 
int main()
{
//    file("Test");
    ios::sync_with_stdio(NULL);
    cin.tie(NULL);
 
    /// Input
    cin >> n;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i)
    {
        for (int j = 1; j <= n; j += 4)
        {
            char c;
            cin >> c;
 
            /// Decode a[i][j]
            int v = (c <= '9') ? c - '0' : c + 10 - 'A';
            a[i][j + 0] = v >> 3 & 1;
            a[i][j + 1] = v >> 2 & 1;
            a[i][j + 2] = v >> 1 & 1;
            a[i][j + 3] = v >> 0 & 1;
        }
    }
 
    /// Find result
    for (int x = n; x >= 1; --x)
        if (n % x == 0 && check(x))
            return cout << x, 0;
 
    return 0;
}

Can someone construct a test hack for it, since I failed to find such test that it will fail.
