#P4759. Consecutive Sum Representation
Consecutive Sum Representation
Consecutive Sum Representation
Given a positive integer \(N\), express it as the sum of at least two consecutive positive integers in the following form:
\(N = a + (a+1) + \cdots + (a+k-1)\) with \(k \ge 2\).
If there are multiple valid representations, output the one with the smallest number of summands. If no such representation exists, output IMPOSSIBLE
.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single integer \(N\) on one line.
outputFormat
If a valid representation exists, output the expression in the format: N = a + (a+1) + ... + (a+k-1)
. Otherwise, output IMPOSSIBLE
.
