Solution: Kth Smallest Number in Multiplication Table

Explore how to efficiently identify the kth smallest element in an m by n multiplication table by applying binary search and row-wise counting. Understand the algorithm's steps, its binary search bounds, and how to leverage the table's ordered properties to avoid building it explicitly.

Statement

You are given a multiplication table of size m×\timesn, where each element at position mat[i][j] is calculated as i×ji \times j ...
