I was doing a question Advertising Agency Your text to link here... where i need to find NcR but if N is very large i had to use modulo of 10^9+7 but for some reason my answer gets wrong on test 6 where n is very big. I think the problem is not using modulo properly but i cant figure it out. 1475E][SUBMISSION:121841381 - Advertising Agency any help is appreciated. In my code n=to and r=bef;

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//#include <chrono>
//using namespace std::chrono;

long long multi(long long a, long long b, long long mod){
    return (a * b) % mod;
}

long long power(long long a, long long b, long long mod){
    long long powans = 1;

    for(; b > 0; a = multi(a, a, mod), b /= 2) if(b % 2 == 1) powans = multi(powans, a, mod);

    return powans;
}

In the fact function, you are performing normal division, which doesn't work in modular arithmetic.

The bug inside fact():

You need to find the modular multiplicative inverse instead.
