10856 - Recover Factorial

[BiK]

How is this problem solved? It appears everybody but me solved it

[zhang]

I want to know,also. I can't solve this problem in 2s.
Tell me and Bik how to solve the problem.

Hi

I have solve this problem by this way
- First i have stored some prime number
- Then i have stored number of factor's in a single number by using DP.
- Then binary search

Thanks

Sorry, I got WA all the time.
Could you give me some tricky input/output?
Thx

Maybe this, in the problem statement is:
A negative integer marks is the end of input, not -1. I have 2 WAs becouse of that...

I have noticed the point.
When I input 0, it is impossible or 1! ?

[Monsoon]

neither of them, i output 0 (0!=1) and it is the smallest number

Hi
Try this Input

Input

Code: Select all

0
1
10000001
-200

Output

Code: Select all

Case 1: 0!
Case 2: 2!
Case 3: 2703663!

I think this is the most tricky Input for this problem.

Thanks

0! = 1

am i right? i think so is not possible this case.

I tried to store prime upto 2703663 and it take 1.6 MB.
Can you write details?

Hi ibrahim

suppose you have a list of prime number
- prime[] = {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,............................}
- and my concept is if a number is divisible by a prime number then it is suffice for find out total number of prime factor.
exp - if we have a number 12
then we have to check which prime number is divisible then 2 will be come and
then ans will be Table = Table[i / prime[j]] + Table[prime[j]];
here i = 12
prime[j] = 2
then Table[12] = Table[12/2] + Table[2]
then we can easily find out Table[12] = 3:-?
and it will be continue up to 2703665

- then binary search

thanks

Table = Table[i / prime[j]] + Table[prime[j]];

what does this table contain at last...
how does it help....
plz, give me explanations and some starting values in the generated table
Thanks !

[FAQ]

I don't understand too
12 has another prime factor is 3 then table[12] = table[4] + table[3] + table[6] + table[2] ?

some little more details please?

[a123123123888]

The table at last is like this:

Code: Select all

Table[0]=0
Table[1]=0
Table[2]=1
Table[3]=1
Table[4]=2
Table[5]=1
Table[6]=2
Table[7]=1
Table[8]=3
...

This means the number's "factors" --> I don't know whether this word or not

Example
8 = 2 * 2 * 2
So Table[8]=3

to FAQ:

Code: Select all

Table[4]+Table[3]+Table[6]+Table[2]

means

Code: Select all

Table [ 4 * 3 * 6 * 2 ] = Table[144]

and obviously not equal to Table [12].

By the way, it's not necessary to calculate prime numbers.

Can anybody post some testcases? My code seems to be correct but still WA.
now I got it, I didn't print the '.' !!!
