There are $456$ people around a circle, denoted as $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_{456}$, and each one of them thought of a number. Every time Laura says an integer $k$ with $2 \leqslant k \leqslant 100$, the announcer announces all the numbers $p_1, p_2, \dots, p_{456}$, which are the averages of the numbers thought by the people in all the groups of $k$ consecutive people: $p_1$ is the average of the numbers thought by the people from $X_1$ to $X_k$, $p_2$ is the average of the numbers thought by the people from $X_2$ to $X_{k+1}$, and so on until $p_{456}$, the average of the numbers thought by the people from $X_{456}$ to $X_{k-1}$. Determine how many numbers $k$ Laura must say at a minimum so that, with certainty, the announcer can know the number thought by the person $X_{456}$.
