Prime Time Again Problem Statement

You are given two integers DAY_HOURS and PARTS. Consider a day with DAY_HOURS hours, which can be divided into PARTS equal parts. Your task is to determine the total instances of equivalent prime groups, where a prime group is defined as a set of hour values that are prime and occur at the same position in different parts of the day.

Example:

Input:
DAY_HOURS = 20
PARTS = 2
Output:
2
Explanation:

If we divide the day into 2 parts, we have:

Part 1: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
Part 2: 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
  • 3-13 is a prime group, as both numbers are prime.
  • 7-17 is a prime group, as both numbers are prime.

There are 2 prime groups in total.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 10 <= DAY_HOURS <= 5 * 10^3
  • 2 <= PARTS <= 10^3
  • Time Limit: 1 second
Input:
The first line of input contains an integer T representing the number of test cases.
The first and only line of each test case contains two space-separated integers DAY_HOURS and PARTS.
Output:
Output a single integer for each test case, representing the number of equivalent prime groups.
Note:
  • The day starts with hour 1 and ends with hour DAY_HOURS.
  • Each hour in a prime group must be in a different part of the day.
  • If there is no prime group, return zero.
  • DAY_HOURS should be divisible by PARTS.
