Number Transformation II(Codeforces Round #201 (Div. 2))

题目链接:http://codeforces.com/contest/347/problem/E
You are given a sequence of positive integers x1, x2, ..., xn and two non-negative integers a and b. Your task is to transform a into b. To do that, you can perform the following moves:

subtract 1 from the current a;
subtract a mod xi (1 ≤ i ≤ n) from the current a.
Operation a mod xi means taking the remainder after division of number a by number xi.

Now you want to know the minimum number of moves needed to transform a into b.

Input
The first line contains a single integer n (1 ≤  n ≤ 105). The second line contains n space-separated integers x1, x2, ..., xn(2 ≤  xi ≤ 109). The third line contains two integers a and b (0  ≤ b ≤  a ≤ 109, a - b ≤ 106).

Output
Print a single integer — the required minimum number of moves needed to transform number a into number b.

CodeForces346  C. Number Transformation II
给你两个数a,b
1.每次对于当前的a减去1
2.每次对于当前的a减去 a%(ta[i])
求最少多少次能得到b
类似于贪心,每次减去尽可能多的值。但是一直TLE- -.   后来可以发现a~a-a%ta[i]的所有值
如果减去a%ta[i],都会等于同一个值。  如果当a-a%ta[i] < b时,ta[i]可以说在后面的
搜索就没有作用了.于是乎把ta[i]除去.
