FACVSPOW - Factorial vs Power
Consider two integer sequences f(n) = n! and g(n) = an, where n is a positive integer. For any integer a > 1 the second sequence is greater than the first for a finite number of values. But starting from some integer k, f(n) is greater than g(n) for all n >= k. You are to find the least positive value of n for which f(n) > g(n), for a given positive integer a > 1.
Input
The first line of the input contains number t – the amount of tests. Then t test descriptions follow. Each test consist of a single number a.
Constraints
1 ≤ t ≤ 100000
2 ≤ a ≤ 106
Output
For each test print the least positive value of n for which f(n) > g(n).
Example
Input: 3 2 3 4 Output: 4 7 9

No need for any advanced formula , just precompute the array of log (factorial) upto 10000000 and find the answer using binary search tehnique ! Last edit: 2018-06-23 18:17:04 |

did it without Stirling's formula , using prefix sum and log function. |

easy one with stirling's formula |

u can skip the stirling's approximation,however use of log will surely help,,and yes use double instead of float.. |

ln(n!) = (n*ln(n))-n+(1/2*ln(2*pi*n)) !!!!!This is helpful here |

DId it after 2 attempts :D Loved it |

Stirling formula is working just think about high and low values of binary search. |

use printf, scanf instead of cin, cout Last edit: 2014-07-15 17:24:42 |
