Problem type

Solve the Modular Multiplicative Inverse problem.

Input Specification

Line 1: N, M (0 \le N < M \le 10^{19}, N is coprime to M)

Note: The values will not fit in a 32 bit integer. They will fit in a 64 bit unsigned integer. For languages that do not have unsigned datatypes, please use a general big integer.

Output Specification

Line 1: The modular multiplicative inverse of N modulo M. The value should be nonnegative.

Sample Input

2 7

Sample Output

4

    I've implemented a variation of XGCD that does not give a coefficient on M, but am having issues with test case #15 and #22. All the rest are AC. Please help.

      Try using unsigned long long

        If you're still WAing, try signed 128-bit integers (__int128 in C++).

    Isn't this problem really easy in Java? Java has a built in function for this, which is slow, but still passes.
