Problem Statement :

Given an integer N which is to be reduced to 1 by performing the given operation:- In one operation you can subtract any divisor of N other than N itself from N. Your task is to find the minimum number to reduce N to 1. Input The input contains a single integer N.

Constraints:- 1 <= N <= 1000 Output Print the minimum number of operations need to convert N to 1. Example Sample Input 1:- 5

Sample Output 1:- 3

Explanation:- 5 - > 4 - > 2 - > 1

Sample Input 2:- 8

Sample Output 2:- 3
