  • 0

My teacher have given us a acm problem about a math problem. I’ve tried but get the TLE.

Here is the problem.

Euler’s Totient function, φ (n) [sometimes called the phi function], is used to determine the number of numbers less than n which are relatively prime to n . For example, as 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8, are all less than nine and relatively prime to nine, φ(9)=6.
HG is the master of X Y. One day HG wants to teachers XY something about Euler’s Totient function by a mathematic game. That is HG gives a positive integer N and XY tells his master the value of 2<=n<=N for which φ(n) is a maximum. Soon HG finds that this seems a little easy for XY who is a primer of Lupus, because XY gives the right answer very fast by a small program. So HG makes some changes. For this time XY will tells him the value of 2<=n<=N for which n/φ(n) is a maximum. This time XY meets some difficult because he has no enough knowledge to solve this problem. Now he needs your help.

Input
There are T test cases (1<=T<=50000). For each test case, standard input contains a line with 2 ≤ n ≤ 10^100.

Output
For each test case there should be single line of output answering the question posed above.

Sample Input
2
10
100

Sample Output
6
30

Here is my code. Can anyone help improve it?

    Your current answer already seems quite clever.

    You didn’t explain why your solution works, so I’ll do so briefly:

    Phi is multiplicative (for relatively prime numbers a and b, phi(a*b) = phi(a)*phi(b) ) and for a prime p, phi(p^n) = p^(n-1)*(p-1).

    Therefore f(n) = n/phi(n) is obviously also multiplicative, with f(p^n) = p/(p-1). Therefore to maximize f(n) there’s no point looking at values of n containing primes to powers greater than 1: you don’t change the value of f(n) and just make n bigger.

    Moreover, f(p) decreases as p increases, so given two values of n with an equal number of prime factors you’d rather have smaller prime factors than larger ones. From this it follows that the n <= N maximizing f(n) is the greatest “prime factorial” less than or equal to N.

    /explanation

    As for your question: one trick you can do to speed this up is to precompute the primorials (prime factorials) (there are only about 60 of them less than 10^100) instead of calculating them at runtime.
