Mad scientist Mike is building a time machine in his spare time. To finish the work, he needs a resistor with a certain resistance value.

However, all Mike has is lots of identical resistors with unit resistance R0 = 1. Elements with other resistance can be constructed from these resistors. In this problem, we will consider the following as elements:

  1. one resistor;
  2. an element and one resistor plugged in sequence;
  3. an element and one resistor plugged in parallel.

With the consecutive connection the resistance of the new element equals R = Re + R0. With the parallel connection the resistance of the new element equals . In this case Re equals the resistance of the element being connected.

Mike needs to assemble an element with a resistance equal to the fraction . Determine the smallest possible number of resistors he needs to make such an element.

Input

The single input line contains two space-separated integers a and b (1 ≤ a, b ≤ 10^18). It is guaranteed that the fraction  is irreducible. It is guaranteed that a solution always exists.

Output

Print a single number — the answer to the problem.

Please do not use the %lld specifier to read or write 64-bit integers in С++. It is recommended to use the cin, cout streams or the%I64d specifier.

Note

In the first sample, one resistor is enough.

In the second sample one can connect the resistors in parallel, take the resulting element and connect it to a third resistor consecutively. Then, we get an element with resistance . We cannot make this element using two resistors.

题意:给出a,b,问最少用多少阻值为1的电阻通过串并联的方式得到阻值为a/b的电阻,a/b是最简形式

分析:如果a==b,既然是最简,那么就只有等于1的情况

   如果a>b,那么化成假分数,整数部分用阻值为1的电阻串联即可,剩下就得到a'<b

   如果a<b,有个结论,引用一下:如果最少用K个电阻构成a/b Ω电阻,那么b/a也需K个(只需改变所有的串并联关系即可)

那么分好情况就好做了,注意结果可能会超int
