Solution: Kth Smallest Number in Multiplication Table

Explore the method to find the kth smallest number in a multiplication table of size m by n using a binary search approach. Understand how to count elements efficiently by leveraging the table's ordered structure and how to implement a function that checks the count of values less than or equal to a candidate number. This lesson helps you solve the problem with an optimal time complexity without constructing the full multiplication table.

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 ...
