# 1838. Frequency of the Most Frequent Element

<https://leetcode.com/problems/frequency-of-the-most-frequent-element>

## Description

The **frequency** of an element is the number of times it occurs in an array.

You are given an integer array `nums` and an integer `k`. In one operation, you can choose an index of `nums` and increment the element at that index by `1`.

Return *the **maximum possible frequency** of an element after performing **at most*** `k` *operations*.

**Example 1:**

```
**Input:** nums = [1,2,4], k = 5
**Output:** 3**Explanation:** Increment the first element three times and the second element two times to make nums = [4,4,4].
4 has a frequency of 3.
```

**Example 2:**

```
**Input:** nums = [1,4,8,13], k = 5
**Output:** 2
**Explanation:** There are multiple optimal solutions:
- Increment the first element three times to make nums = [4,4,8,13]. 4 has a frequency of 2.
- Increment the second element four times to make nums = [1,8,8,13]. 8 has a frequency of 2.
- Increment the third element five times to make nums = [1,4,13,13]. 13 has a frequency of 2.
```

**Example 3:**

```
**Input:** nums = [3,9,6], k = 2
**Output:** 1
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= nums.length <= 105`
* `1 <= nums[i] <= 105`
* `1 <= k <= 105`
