Description

Given two strings A and B we define a * B to be their concatenation. for example, if a = "ABC" and B = "def" Then a * B = "abcdef ". if we think of concatenation as multiplication, exponentiation by a non-negative integer is defined in the normal way: a ^ 0 = "" (the empty string) and a ^ (n + 1) = A * (a ^ N ).

Input

Each test case is a line of input representing S, a string of printable characters. the length of s will be at least 1 and will not exceed 1 million characters. A line containing a period follows the last test case.

Output

For each s you shoshould print the largest N such that S = a ^ N for some string.

Sample Input

abcdaaaaababab.

Sample output

143


After talking about this, it is actually a problem of finding the minimum cycle in a string. The time limit is 3 s. We can use enumeration.
Note the following:Cycle stringBasic algorithm:
For (I = 1; I <= Len; I ++)
{
OK = 1;
If (LEN % I = 0)
{
For (j = I; j <Len; j ++)
{
If (s [J]! = S [J % I]) {OK = 0; break ;}
}
}
If (OK = 1)
{
Printf ("% d \ n", Len/I );
Break; // remember to use break
}
}
