In a deck of cards, each card has an integer written on it.

Return true if and only if you can choose X >= 2 such that it is possible to split the entire deck into 1 or more groups of cards, where:

Each group has exactly X cards.
All the cards in each group have the same integer.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1] Output: true Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[3,3],[4,4]

Example 2:

Input: [1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3] Output: false Explanation: No possible partition.

Example 3:

Input: [1] Output: false Explanation: No possible partition.

Example 4:

Input: [1,1] Output: true Explanation: Possible partition [1,1]

Example 5:

Input: [1,1,2,2,2,2] Output: true Explanation: Possible partition [1,1],[2,2],[2,2]

Note:

1 <= deck.length <= 10000
0 <= deck[i] < 10000

        g = reduce(self.gcd, table.values())
        if g < 2: return False

        return True

        if b != 0:
            return self.gcd(b, a %  b)
