Now Vasily wonders: for how many hours can his candles light up the room if he acts optimally well? Help him find this number.
Input
The single line contains two integers, a and b (1 ≤ a ≤ 1000; 2 ≤ b ≤ 1000).

问题简述:
第一行:两个整数a(拥有的蜡烛),b(可以用b支烧完的蜡烛做一支新蜡烛)。
一支蜡烛可以燃烧一个小时,问:最多燃烧几个小时?
程序说明:
AC通过的C语言程序如下:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
//s 可以制造的蜡烛 y 制造完剩下的没制造的蜡烛尸体
int a,b,s,y;
scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
s=a;
while(s/b>0)//如果可以造蜡烛
{
a = a+s/b;//加上新蜡烛
y = s%b;//制造完剩下的没制造的蜡烛尸体
s = s/b+y;//所有尸体
}
printf("%d",a);
return 0;
}
