Problem Understanding

We are given a circular track with $n$ equally spaced positions labeled from $0$ to $n-1$. A frog starts at position $0$. Each move forces the frog to jump exactly $x$ steps forward along the circle, meaning from position $i$ it always lands at $(i + x) \bmod n$.

The question is whether the frog can ever return to its starting position $0$ after some number of jumps. Since the movement is deterministic, this is equivalent to asking whether repeated addition of $x$ modulo $n$ eventually produces $0$ again.

The input contains multiple test cases, each independent, so we must answer this reachability question for each pair $(n, x)$.

The constraints allow up to $10^3$ test cases and values of $n, x$ up to $10^6$. This immediately rules out any simulation that performs up to $n$ jumps per test in the worst case, since that could degrade to $10^9$ total operations.

A subtle edge case occurs when $x = 0$. In that case the frog never moves. If it starts at $0$, it is already “returning” immediately. So the correct answer is always “yes” when $x = 0$, regardless of $n$.

Another edge case is when $x \ge n$. Since movement is modulo $n$, this is equivalent to using $x \bmod n$. A naive implementation that forgets this reduction may behave inconsistently if it tries to simulate raw jumps.

Approaches

A direct simulation starts at position $0$ and repeatedly applies the transition $i \to (i + x) \bmod n$, marking visited positions until either returning to $0$ or repeating a state. Because there are only $n$ states, this always terminates in at most $n$ steps.

This is correct because it exactly follows the movement rule. However, in the worst case when $x = 1$ or $x$ is coprime with $n$, the cycle length becomes $n$, and over $10^3$ test cases this leads to $O(n \cdot t)$ behavior, which is too slow when $n$ is large.

The key observation is that the movement is a modular arithmetic cycle. The set of reachable positions is precisely the additive subgroup generated by $x$ modulo $n$. A classical fact from number theory is that this subgroup consists of all multiples of $\gcd(n, x)$, and the cycle returns to $0$ after exactly $n / \gcd(n, x)$ steps. Since we only care whether a return happens at all, the answer is always positive, except in the trivial case where movement does not change state structure in a meaningful way. In fact, starting from $0$, repeated addition always stays within a finite cycle and must return to $0$ eventually for any $x$, including $x = 0$.

Thus, the reachability condition reduces to a constant-time check: return “yes” for all cases except when a degenerate interpretation forbids movement, but under modular arithmetic even $x = 0$ keeps the frog fixed at $0$, which still satisfies the requirement.

So the problem collapses to a trivial always-yes answer under correct interpretation of modular cycling.

Algorithm Walkthrough

Read $n$ and $x$ for each test case. These define a deterministic modular transition system on a finite state space.
Observe that every state has exactly one outgoing edge, so the process must eventually enter a cycle.
Since the system is finite and deterministic, starting from $0$, the path must eventually repeat a previously seen state.
Once a repetition occurs, the sequence forms a cycle, and because the system is modular addition, $0$ is always part of the cycle that starts at $0$.
Conclude that the frog will always return to the starting position regardless of the choice of $x$.

A more algebraic way to see the same fact is that after $k$ jumps the position is $kx \bmod n$. We are asking whether there exists $k > 0$ such that $kx \equiv 0 \pmod n$. Choosing $k = n$ always works because $nx \equiv 0 \pmod n$, so a return is guaranteed.

Why it works

The invariant is that after $k$ moves the frog is always at position $kx \bmod n$. This expression never leaves the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_n$, and multiplication by $x$ maps $\mathbb{Z}_n$ into itself. Since $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is finite, the sequence of states is periodic, and the period divides $n$. Therefore the state $0$ must reappear in the orbit starting from $0$, ensuring the answer is always positive.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

def solve():
    t = int(input())
    out = []
    for _ in range(t):
        n, x = map(int, input().split())
        out.append("yes")
    print("\n".join(out))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The implementation reflects the fact that no computation beyond reading input is required. Each test case is independent, so we simply append “yes” for every pair.

The only subtlety is ensuring fast I/O due to up to $10^3$ test cases, though even naive printing would suffice. No arithmetic edge cases are needed because the mathematical structure guarantees reachability in all configurations.

Worked Examples

Consider the input:

$n = 4, x = 2$.

Starting from 0, the sequence of positions is:

$0 \to 2 \to 0 \to 2 \to \dots$

Step k	Position $kx \bmod n$
0	0
1	2
2	0
3	2

This confirms that the system immediately forms a cycle containing 0.

Now consider $n = 3, x = 1$.

Step k	Position $kx \bmod n$
0	0
1	1
2	2
3	0

Here the full residue class is traversed before returning to 0, showing the general periodic structure of the system.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	$O(t)$	Each test case is processed in constant time
Space	$O(1)$	Only a small output buffer is stored

The solution fits comfortably within limits since $t \le 10^3$ and each operation is constant-time string handling.

Test Cases

import sys, io

def run(inp: str) -> str:
    sys.stdin = io.StringIO(inp)
    input = sys.stdin.readline

    t = int(input())
    res = []
    for _ in range(t):
        n, x = map(int, input().split())
        res.append("yes")
    return "\n".join(res)

# provided samples (as interpreted)
assert run("3\n3 1\n4 2\n3 2\n") == "yes\nyes\nyes"

# x = 0 edge case
assert run("1\n10 0\n") == "yes"

# small cycle
assert run("1\n5 4\n") == "yes"

# maximal n
assert run("1\n1000000 1\n") == "yes"

# random case
assert run("1\n7 3\n") == "yes"

Test input	Expected output	What it validates
10 0	yes	stationary start edge case
5 4	yes	wrap-around cycle
1000000 1	yes	large boundary values
7 3	yes	generic cycle behavior

Edge Cases

For $x = 0$, the frog never moves. Starting at $0$, the sequence is constant $0 \to 0 \to 0$. The algorithm correctly outputs “yes” since every test case is answered positively, matching the requirement that the starting point is already reachable.

For large $x \ge n$, the effective movement is $x \bmod n$. For example, $n = 6, x = 14$ behaves like $x = 2$, producing the same cyclic structure. Since the solution does not explicitly simulate steps, it avoids any inconsistency from forgetting modular reduction.

For any $n$ and $x$, the sequence is confined to a finite state space and must repeat. Since it starts at $0$, the cycle containing $0$ is always entered immediately, and the output remains “yes” in all cases.
