CF 1768A - Greatest Convex
You are given an integer k. Find the largest integer x, where 1≤x<k, such that x!+(x−1)!† is a multiple of ‡ k
, or determine that no such x exists.† y! denotes the factorial of y, which is defined recursively as y!=y⋅(y−1)!
for y≥1 with the base case of 0!=1. For example, 5!=5⋅4⋅3⋅2⋅1⋅0!=120.
‡ If a and b are integers, then a is a multiple of b if there exists an integer c
such that a=b⋅c. For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 but 9 is not a multiple of 6.
Input
The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤104) — the number of test cases. The description of test cases follows.
The only line of each test case contains a single integer k (2≤k≤109).
Output
For each test case output a single integer — the largest possible integer x that satisfies the conditions above.
If no such x exists, output −1.
Is x=k−1 always suitable?
The answer is yes, as x!+(x−1)!=(x−1)!×(x+1)=((k−1)−1)!×((k−1)+1)=(k−2)!×(k)
, which is clearly a multiple of k
.
Therefore, x=k−1
is the answer.
Time complexity: O(1)
一旦计算出来k-1是最大值,那么问题就很简单了;
