There is only one character `'A'` on the screen of a notepad. You can perform two operations on this notepad for each step:
* Copy All: You can copy all the characters present on the screen (a partial copy is not allowed).
* Paste: You can paste the characters which are copied last time.
Given an integer `n`, return _the minimum number of operations to get the character_ `'A'` _exactly_ `n` _times on the screen_.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** n = 3

In step 2, we use Paste operation to get 'AA'.
In step 3, we use Paste operation to get 'AAA'.
