Problem Description
Some days ago, I learned the concept of LCM (least common multiple). I've played with it for several times and I want to make a big number with it.
But I also don't want to use many numbers, so I'll choose three positive integers (they don't have to be distinct) which are not greater than n. Can you help me to find the maximum possible least common multiple of these three integers?
Input
The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 10^6) — the n mentioned in the statement.
Output
Print a single integer — the maximum possible LCM of three not necessarily distinct positive integers that are not greater than n.

输入n,让你从1~n中找出三个数,使他们的最大公倍数最大。(补充下小学五年级的知识:两个相临的奇数互质)
我们知道要是他们的最大公倍数最大,既为从最大的n,n-1,n-2开始查找,
而且如果n为奇数的话,n*(n-1)*(n-2)=>奇数*偶数*奇数(且三个数互质),一定是所求最大的公倍数。
如果n为偶数的话,则有两种情况:
1,n能够被3整除;
1,n不能够被3整除;
因为n是偶数n*(n-1)*(n-2)=>偶数*奇数*偶数(且三个数不互质)<>不会是最大公倍数, 所以它的最大公倍数顶多为n*(n-1)*(n-3)=>偶数*奇数*奇数(此时三个数可能不互质),
这里还需要判断的是n是否能够被3整除。
为什么只考虑只能被3整除的情况呢?
因为只有三个数,如果n能够被3整除的话,如果n能够被3整除的话,这三个数也便不互质了、
它的最大公倍数不可能是为n*(n-1)*(n-3),因为n-3同样也能够被3整除,
这么三个数也不互质,最大值顶多可能是n*(n-1)*(n-5)=>偶数*奇数*奇数(不一定互质)以及更小,
或者为(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)=>奇数*偶数*奇数(且三个数互质),
因为(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)-n*(n-1)*(n-5)
=>(n-1)*{(n-2)*(n-3)-(n)*(n-5)}
=>(n-1)*{(n*n-5*n)+6-(n*n-5*n)}
=>(n-1)*6
因为n>=1所以(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)>n*(n-1)(n-5)
所以,当n为偶数,且能够被3整除的话,输出(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)
否则输出(n)*(n-1)*(n-3)
