#P2618. Reduce Number to One
Reduce Number to One
Reduce Number to One
ACM Lab has initiated a digital engineering project that involves transforming a positive integer \(n\) into \(1\) using special operations. You are allowed to perform the following two operations:
- Subtract \(1\) from \(n\).
- Divide \(n\) by any one of its prime factors.
Each operation consumes 1 unit of energy. Your task is to determine the minimum energy required to reduce \(n\) to \(1\).
inputFormat
The input consists of a single positive integer \(n\) (\(n \ge 1\)).
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the minimum energy required to transform \(n\) into \(1\).
