Description

George took sticks of the same length and cut them randomly until all parts became at most 50 units long. Now he wants to return sticks to the original state, but he forgot how many sticks he had originally and how long they were originally. Please help him and design a program which computes the smallest possible original length of those sticks. All lengths expressed in units are integers greater than zero.

Input

The input contains blocks of 2 lines. The first line contains the number of sticks parts after cutting, there are at most 64 sticks. The second line contains the lengths of those parts separated by the space. The last line of the file contains zero.

Output

The output should contains the smallest possible length of original sticks, one per line.

无论是后台数据还是需要的算法剪枝程度，真的是无法挑剔的一个题，剪枝无果，贪心WA，最终还是看的大牛题解找到了思路AC的。

重要剪枝：

1、一定是几根或者一根木棍组成大木棍，所以我们不必要从长度为1开始枚举，我们从最长的那根木棍开始枚举。

2、我们用pre标记，上一个建组的长度没有必要建组第二次。

3、组成的最终长度绝对是所有小木棍长度的和的因字数，所以枚举j的时候判断一下sum%j==0再进入dfs。

4、回溯的该跳出就跳出、
