Hi!

I tried to code this task on the contest but got WA.
Later I rewrote this task (this time without using any floats etc) and still got WA..

Does anyone have any tricky inputs for this task ??

Thanks in advance
Good Luck :wink:

You may have some overflow problems. Try this input:
1 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647

Unfortunately I use long long's for this and I don't think this may cause overflow problems..
My answer for this test is :

4611686014132420609

(Or is it wrong answer ??? )

Simple math will do. Hint: you may start with working on the "faster" guy. Try to find out the relationship between the number of loops he travels and the number of times they meet. (That's my approach :wink:)

From http://uvatoolkit.com/problemssolve.php, I know this problem could be solved by gcd or other math methods. However, I didn't know how to use them for this problem. Could someone please give me more hints? Thanks. :D
