{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "3239", "questionFrontendId": "2998", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Minimum Number of Operations to Make X and Y Equal", "titleSlug": "minimum-number-of-operations-to-make-x-and-y-equal", "content": "
You are given two positive integers x
and y
.
In one operation, you can do one of the four following operations:
\n\nx
by 11
if x
is a multiple of 11
.x
by 5
if x
is a multiple of 5
.x
by 1
.x
by 1
.Return the minimum number of operations required to make x
and y
equal.
\n
Example 1:
\n\n\nInput: x = 26, y = 1\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: We can make 26 equal to 1 by applying the following operations: \n1. Decrement x by 1\n2. Divide x by 5\n3. Divide x by 5\nIt can be shown that 3 is the minimum number of operations required to make 26 equal to 1.\n\n\n
Example 2:
\n\n\nInput: x = 54, y = 2\nOutput: 4\nExplanation: We can make 54 equal to 2 by applying the following operations: \n1. Increment x by 1\n2. Divide x by 11 \n3. Divide x by 5\n4. Increment x by 1\nIt can be shown that 4 is the minimum number of operations required to make 54 equal to 2.\n\n\n
Example 3:
\n\n\nInput: x = 25, y = 30\nOutput: 5\nExplanation: We can make 25 equal to 30 by applying the following operations: \n1. Increment x by 1\n2. Increment x by 1\n3. Increment x by 1\n4. Increment x by 1\n5. Increment x by 1\nIt can be shown that 5 is the minimum number of operations required to make 25 equal to 30.\n\n\n
\n
Constraints:
\n\n1 <= x, y <= 104
x
larger is to increase it by 1
so if y >= x
the answer is y - x
.",
"For y < x
, x - y
is always a candidate answer since we can repeatedly decrease x
by one to reach y
.",
"We can also increase x
and then use the division operations. For example, if x = 10
and y = 1
, we can increment x
by 1
then divide it by 11
.",
"Find an upper bound U
on the maximum value of x
we will reach an optimal solution. Since all values of x
will be in the range [1, U]
, we can use BFS to find the answer.",
"One possible upper bound on x
is U = x + (x - y)
. To reach any number strictly greater than U
from x
, we will need more than x - y
operations which is not optimal since we can always reach y
in x - y
operations."
