Resistors

CodeChefOpen on judge ↗

Max is building a machine. He requires a resistor of a certain resistance value. There are infinite number of resistors with resistance equal to $1$. You can combine several of these resistors in series and/or parallel. Max needs a resistor with a resistance equal to $\frac{A}{B}$. Find the minimum number of resistors required to get desired resistance. ###Input - First line will contain
