Problem: Nth Magical Number

Hard
40 min
Explore how to determine the nth magical number defined as a positive integer divisible by either of two given values. Understand the problem constraints, apply modular arithmetic, and practice solving it in a hands-on coding environment.

Statement

Given three integers n, a, and b, return the nth magical number.

A magical number is defined as a positive integer that is divisible by either a or b.

As the result may be very large, return it modulo 109+710^9+7.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq n 109\leq 10^9

  • 22 \leq a, b 4×104\leq 4 \times 10^4
