You are given an integer array nums and two integers k and p. Your task is to count the number of distinct subarrays where there are at most k elements divisible by p. A subarray is defined as a contiguous part of the array, and two subarrays are considered distinct if they differ in either length or at least one element.

Input: You are given an integer array `nums` and two integers `k` and `p`.
Example: nums = [5, 8, 3, 5, 6], k = 2, p = 5
Constraints:
• 1 <= nums.length <= 200
• 1 <= nums[i], p <= 200
• 1 <= k <= nums.length
Output: Return the number of distinct subarrays with at most `k` elements divisible by `p`.
Example: Output: 7
Constraints:
Goal: We need to find the distinct subarrays that satisfy the condition of having at most `k` elements divisible by `p`.
Steps:
• Iterate over the array to consider all possible subarrays.
• For each subarray, count the elements divisible by `p`.
• If the count is less than or equal to `k`, add the subarray to a set of distinct subarrays.
• Use hashing to ensure subarrays are distinct and avoid duplicates.
Goal: Ensure the solution works within the constraints for large input sizes.
Steps:
• The length of `nums` is between 1 and 200.
• The values in `nums` and `p` are between 1 and 200.
• The value of `k` is between 1 and the length of `nums`.
Assumptions:
• The input array `nums` is non-empty.
• Subarrays are considered distinct if they differ in length or in elements.
Input: nums = [5, 8, 3, 5, 6], k = 2, p = 5
Explanation: We can form the subarrays [5], [5,8], [5,8,3], [8], [8,3], [3], and [5,6], which all contain at most 2 elements divisible by 5. Hence, the output is 7.

Input: nums = [10, 20, 30], k = 1, p = 10
Explanation: The distinct subarrays satisfying the condition are [10], [20], [30], and [10,20], [20,30], and [10,20,30]. There are 6 distinct subarrays, and the output is 6.
