🏁MISSION

Divide Gold: Rates Are Rising by freeman_lex -

This mission is a continuation of the story about a team of pirates. In case the coins cannot be divided evenly using this method, the Captain, being the only person with a gun on board, decided to use his weapon effectively and mercifully - to minimally decrease the number of sailors to get an integer result of shares. However, the sailors were not happy with such a prospect and secretly decided that if the given number of coins could be evenly divided without the Captain's share, they would pounce and remove him from leadership.

winner_share(15, 4) == 6
winner_share(16, 4) == 4
winner_share(100, 11) == 20
