You are given two positive integers x and y.

\n\n

In one operation, you can do one of the four following operations:

\n\n
    \n\t
  1. Divide x by 11 if x is a multiple of 11.
  2. \n\t
  3. Divide x by 5 if x is a multiple of 5.
  4. \n\t
  5. Decrement x by 1.
  6. \n\t
  7. Increment x by 1.
  8. \n
\n\n

Return the minimum number of operations required to make x and y equal.

\n\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
