Larry, that is really the most helpful answer I've ever received.
Thank you so much :)

Well, to be serious, OK, I will think about your hint, as it is
really a sort of hint :) Although a quite quite small hint.

Larry, thank you for the small hint.
Although I knew it even before I started implementing some code
that we SHOULD NOT pre-generate all the primes up to 2^32 - 1.
It was pretty obvious.

Now I've designed a decent algorithm for solving this problem.
Although not the best one, of course.

So thank you, anyway.

Try this test case:

Code: Select all

31 402653184
The answer must be "does not divide," since:

31! = 2^26 3^14 ... 29^1 31^1
402653184 = 2^27 3^1

10139 Better Algorithm ?

Post by CodeJerk »

Hi
I tried solving Problem: 10139 but got a Time Limit Exceeded error.
What I was doing was, starting from n, i was calculating the gcd(n,m) and dividing m by gcd(n,m).

Code: Select all

 m = m/gcd (m,n)  
then i did the same with n-1, and so on, till m was reduced to 1, or n became 1.

Sometimes, one gets a large prime number as one of the factors, and to handle that i counted the no. of times that the gcd was consecutively 1. In case, this exceeded 50 times, I checked if m was prime, and if it was, exited with a negative answer.

This works fine on almost all inputs, and comes out pretty fast when i try it on my system, but always gives TLE on the programming-challenges website.
the code is here

Code: Select all

#include <iostream.h>
#include <math.h>

long  gcd (long p,long q)
{
 if (q == 0) return p;
 else return (gcd (q, p%q));
}

bool isprime (long n)
{
 
 for (int i = 3; i<=sqrt(n)+1 ; i+=2)
 {
  if (n%i == 0) {return (false);}
 }
 return (true);
}

int main()
{
do{
 long n,m,saven, savem;
 cin >>n>> m;
 saven = n; savem = m;
 bool flag = false;
 int counter= 0;  //prime check
 if (n == 0 && m == 1) {flag = true;goto End;}
 if (n==0 && m>1) {flag = false;goto End;}
 if (m == 0) {flag = false;goto End;}
 
 
 
 // to c if m divides n!62454TK
 
 
 
 while ( n >= 1 && m >= 1)
 {
  if (m <= n) { flag = true; goto End;}
  long g = gcd (m,n);
  
      if (g==1) { counter++; if (counter == 50) 
                                   { if (isprime (m)) {flag = false;break;}}
		}
	else counter = 0;
	  
   
  m = m/g; n = (n - 1)*(n/g);
  //cout << "n =" << n << " m = " << m << endl; //int x ; cin >> x;
  if (m == 1) { flag = true; break; }
 }
 
 End:
 if (flag == true) cout << savem <<" divides " << saven<<"!";
 else              cout << savem <<" does not divide " << saven<<"!";
 cout << endl;
 } while (true);
 return (0);
}
  
  
Can u plz suggest a better algo to solve this problem. I have tried looking my Number Theory books, but am still in the dark regarding this problem. I would be really grateful if u could help me out.
Thanks,
CJ

I think it's the endless loop that gives you TLE.

But is there an end condition?

Post by CodeJerk »

The question doesnt specify any end condition, like, for e.g., that the last input is 0 0, which is *not* to be processed.
If u got AC could you plz tell me what was the end condition u specified.
Thanks in advance.

Read until you hit EOF.Something along the line of...

Code: Select all

 while ( 2 == scanf("%d %d", &a, &b) ) {
 }

Thanks a lot.There was a silly mistake in my code and the test case 94764610 284293833 helped me finding that.
Change your view,your life will be changed.

You can get the prime factors of the m and n (from two to n since it is n!) numbers and keep dividing out the prime factors from m until no more prime factors remain in m (return true) or until you reach n (return false).

I would not do it with BigInteger though because it seems the judge does not accept the BigInteger class. I got a compile error before on the Square root problem when I tried to use BigInteger, so I had to write my own BigInteger class.
