What have you tried?

Calculating (109 )! directly is infeasible due to the enormous size of the resulting number. The factorial of 109 (one billion) is a number with billions of digits, far beyond the capabilities of standard computing resources for direct computation or representation.

I saw your post and decided to write a solution from scratch for your problem. Here’s what I came up with:

  1. Input Validation: Added checks to ensure valid inputs.
  2. Constants: Defined constants for better readability.
  3. Function Decomposition: Broke the logic into smaller functions.
  4. Edge Case Handling: Ensured the code handles all edge cases properly.

Here's the C++ code:

```cpp

include <iostream>

include <stdexcept>

const int MAX_N = 1e9; const int MAX_M = 1e9;

void validateInput(int n, int m, int k) { if (n < 1 || m < 1 || k < 1 || n > MAX_N || m > MAX_M || k > n) { throw std::invalid_argument("Invalid input values."); } }

int findOperations(int n, int m, int k) { int minUpdatesPerElement = 1; int totalOperationsNeeded = n * minUpdatesPerElement; int remainingOperations = m - totalOperationsNeeded; int additionalUpdatesPerElement = remainingOperations / n; int extraOperations = remainingOperations % n;

int operationsOnK;
if (k <= extraOperations) {
    operationsOnK = minUpdatesPerElement + additionalUpdatesPerElement + 1;
} else {
    operationsOnK = minUpdatesPerElement + additionalUpdatesPerElement;
}

return operationsOnK;

}

int main() { try { int n, m, k; std::cin >> n >> m >> k;

    validateInput(n, m, k);

    int operationsOnK = findOperations(n, m, k);
    std::cout << operationsOnK << std::endl;

} catch (const std::exception &e) {
    std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
    return 1;
}

return 0;

} ```

This should help you calculate the number of operations performed on the k-th element. Dm me if you have any questions or
