Problem solution in Python programming.

#!/bin/python3

import math
import os
import random
import re
import sys

# Complete the repeatedString function below.
def repeatedString(s, n):
    x,y = divmod(n,len(s))
    return s[:y].count("a")*(x+1) + s[y:].count("a")*x

if __name__ == '__main__':
    fptr = open(os.environ['OUTPUT_PATH'], 'w')

    s = input()

    n = int(input())

    result = repeatedString(s, n)

    fptr.write(str(result) + 'n')

    fptr.close()
