# PREREQUISITES:

Depth first search, dynamic programming, sieve of Eratosthenes/some fast prime factorization method.

# PROBLEM:

You have an integer N, that you want to make 1. You also have M pairs of the form (a, b), where a is prime. In one move, you can:

• Pick a prime p that divides N
• Divide N by p
• Multiply N by b for all pairs of the form (p, b).

Find out whether N can be made 1, and if it can, the minimum number of moves to do so.

# EXPLANATION:

First, note that we can think of this problem entirely in terms of primes. A pair of the form (a, b) essentially removes a from the prime factorization, and adds in all the prime factors of b.

Next, note that there are not actually any choices to be made in terms of number of moves. So, if there is a way to reduce N to 1, then no matter how it is done the cost will be the same.

Thus, we have to find two things:

• Is it possible to reduce N to 1?
• If it is, find the cost of doing so.

Let’s look at a specific prime, say p. What is the cost of removing p from the prime factorization?
Well, based on the pairs we have, removing one copy of p will add in some other primes to the factorization. Let these primes be p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k. Then, each of these primes must be removed, and so on.

So, if cost_p denotes the minimum number of moves to remove p from the factorization, we have

cost_p = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^k cost_{p_i}

This can be implemented to run quickly (in \mathcal{O}(V+E) where V is the number of vertices and is \leq 10^6, and E is the number of edges in the graph) with the help of dynamic programming, since each cost_p only needs to be computed once. The final answer is the sum of cost_p for all primes in the prime factorization of N. For example, for N = 12 the answer would be cost_2 + cost_2 + cost_3.

The only time we run into issues is if we run into a cycle - that is, if removing p from N ends up with adding p back to N. In this case, bringing N down to 1 is of course impossible, making the answer -1.

Note that you have to be careful about one thing: it is possible that the graph has a cycle somewhere in it, but this cycle is not reachable from any of the primes in the factorization of N. In this case, the answer won’t be -1. A trivial example of this is when N = 1 and the graph can be whatever, with the answer being 0.

Note that the above solution requires computing the prime factorization of a number quickly. This can be done with the help of the sieve of Eratosthenes as follows:

• Let spf_i denote the smallest prime factor of i
• spf_i can be computed with a sieve
• To factorize x, do the following:
• If x = 1, stop
• Otherwise, let p = spf_x: \ \ p is one factor of x.
• Divide x by p and continue.

N has at most \log N prime factors, so the above process takes \mathcal{O}(\log N) time to prime factorize N. Note that this also gives us a bound on the number of edges on in the graph: each of the M pairs adds at most \log(10^6) = 20 edges to the graph, so there are 20\cdot M edges at worst.

# TIME COMPLEXITY

\mathcal{O}(N\log N) per test case, where N = 10^6.
