Minimum Cuts to Divide a Circle

Explore how to calculate the minimum straight cuts through a circle’s center to divide it into equal slices. Understand the geometric principles and constraints behind this problem and apply coding patterns to implement an efficient solution.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an integer n, determine the minimum number of cuts required to divide the circle into n equal slices. A valid cut in a circle is defined as one of the following:

  1. A cut is represented by a straight line that passes through the circle’s center and touches two points on its edge.

  2. A cut is represented by a straight line ...
