Solution
This problem can be solved using a priority queue and a greedy algorithm. Here are the steps to solve this problem:
-
First, sort the array in descending order. This is because we want to increase the smaller numbers to make them equal to the largest number.
-
Initialize a priority queue. The priority queue will store the numbers in the array and their frequencies. The priority queue is ordered by the number in descending order.
-
Iterate through the array. For each number, if it is the same as the previous number, increase its frequency in the priority queue. Otherwise, add a new entry to the priority queue with the number and a frequency of 1.
-
While there are at least two entries in the priority queue, remove the two entries with the smallest numbers. Increase these two numbers by 1 and add the cost of this operation to the total cost. Add these two numbers back to the priority queue with their updated frequencies.
-
If there is one entry left in the priority queue, remove it and increase this number to the maximum number in the array. Add the cost of this operation to the total cost.
-
Return the total cost modulo 109 + 7.
This algorithm ensures that the numbers are increased in the most cost-effective way. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(n log n) due to the sorting and the operations on the priority queue. The space complexity is O(n) for storing the numbers and their frequencies in the priority queue.

Geek and Geekina, the top students in their class, were vying for the leadership role. To determine the leader, their teacher assigned them arrays, arr1[] to Geek and arr2[] to Geekina of size n. The task was simple: calculate the cost of each array. The cost of the array is defined as the summing of VAL(a[i]) for each i in [0,n-1].VAL(x)=minimum number of operations to convert x to 0 or 1.In each operation, you can take any prime factor of the remaining value and subtract it from x.For example, if we have 6, and if we subtract 3 from it, then our remaining value will become 3 and then we can not subtract 2 from it because 2 is not the prime factor of the current value of 3.Due to their busy schedules, Geek and Geekina have sought assistance in calculating the cost of their arrays. So your task is to return 1 if the cost of arr1 is less than or equal to the cost of arr2. otherwise, it should return 0. Example 1:Input:n=3arr1={1,1,2}arr2={1,1,1}Output:0Explanation:VAL(1) is 0 and VAL(2) is 1 (2->0).Now Cost of arr1 is 1 and Cost of arr2 is 0.So 0 is the answer Cost(arr1)>Cost(arr2).
