In a deck of cards, each card has an integer written on it.
Return true if and only if you can choose X >= 2 such that it is possible to split the entire deck into 1 or more groups of cards, where:
Each group has exactly X cards.
All the cards in each group have the same integer.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[3,3],[4,4]
Example 2:
Input: [1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3]
Output: false
Explanation: No possible partition.
Example 3:
Input: [1]
Output: false
Explanation: No possible partition.
Example 4:
Input: [1,1]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1]
Example 5:
Input: [1,1,2,2,2,2]
Output: true
Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[2,2]
Note:
1 <= deck.length <= 10000
0 <= deck[i] < 10000
solution can look at the comments in the code
class Solution {

}
//find if minCount and other frequency has common same factor
