Necklace and Bracelet Calculator (Polynomial method)

The Necklace and Bracelet Calculator is a powerful tool that computes the number of possible necklaces and bracelets for a given number of beads and colors using the polynomial method. This method is based on advanced mathematics and provides an efficient way to calculate the possible combinations of beads and colors in necklaces and bracelets.

Polynomial Method Explained

The polynomial method is a mathematical technique used to calculate the number of necklaces and bracelets that can be formed using a given number of beads and colors. This method involves calculating the greatest common divisor (GCD) and using it in combination with other mathematical operations to obtain the total number of combinations.

The formulas used in the polynomial method are as follows:

• Necklaces:\dfrac{1}{n} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} c^{ \text{gcd}(n, k)}where n is the number of beads, c is the number of colors, k ranges from 0 to n-1, and gcd(n, k) is the greatest common divisor of n and k.
• Bracelets:\dfrac{1}{2n} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} c^{ ext{gcd}(n, k)} + \dfrac{1}{2n} \left(n \bmod 2 = 0 ? c^{ rac{n}{2}} : 0 ight) + \dfrac{1}{2} c^{ rac{n+1}{2}}using the same variables as above.

These formulas take into account the various symmetries and rotations possible in necklaces and bracelets, ensuring accurate results.
