Codeforces Round 875 is Rescheduled
By MikeMirzayanov, 18 months ago, In English

Hello, Codeforces!

Unfortunately, today unexpectedly some errors occurred on the servers that we restarted before the round. We couldn't resolve them within 30 minutes. Half of the servers continue to work steadily.

I don't want to risk hosting the round. A round preparation includes too much collaboration between the authors, coordinator, and testers. I have made the decision to postpone the round so that we can hold it in the future with confidence that everything will be fine.

I apologize for the inconvenience. Today I will delve into what is happening and figure it out. There is no reason to think that something will not work for tomorrow's round.

We will announce the new date for Round 875 later.

Apologies again for the inconvenience, Mike

UPD: The round is rescheduled on May/28/2023 17:35 (Moscow time).

    Better this than having a contest become unrated because of technical issues, though.

            I did prime factorisation of every array element and then stored the indices of those prime numbers, then for every prime number connected those indices using a dummy node and finally running bfs to check if it's a connected component or not.

              I did the prime factorisation for each element too but wdym by storing the indices like you stored the indices for the prime numbers as ith num[i], can you elaborate and the dummy node idea have you encountered something like that before in a problem?

                  using dummy node is a technique when you want to connect all the nodes together without running o(n^2) loop, so what we do is we take a dummy node and connect all the nodes to it, in this way all the nodes are connected together.
