Consider an old cassette player, whose only working buttons are “play” and “rewind”. You have just one cassette, which you always keep completely rewinded. So, when you want to listen to a particular song s, you have to press the “play” button and wait until all the songs stored before s finish. Afterwards, when s ends, you always rewind the cassette.

You have n songs, all with the same duration d. You know that you want to listen to song i with absolute frequency fi. (For instance, if f1 = 6 and f2 = 3, then you listen to song 1 twice as much as to song 2.) Assume that the cassette is long enough to store all your songs. Your goal is to choose the order to store the songs so as to minimize the expected time to listen to a desired song.

Input

Input is all natural numbers, and consists of several cases. Every case begins with d and n, followed by the absolute frequencies of the n songs. At least one of the frequencies is strictly positive. Assume 1 ≤ n ≤ 105.

Output

For every case, print with four digits after the decimal point the optimal expected time to listen to a desired song. The input cases have no precision issues.
