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:
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.
InputThe single input line contains two space-separated integers a and b (1?≤?a,?b?≤?1018). It is guaranteed that the fraction is irreducible. It is guaranteed that a solution always exists.
OutputPrint 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.

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.
水题,可 以转化成子问题!如果,是大于1,取整部分当成k个串联电阻,如果小于1部分,倒过来,重复上过程 ,一定可以得到结果!
