Hilbert Matrix

A Hilbert Matrix is a square matrix whose each element is a unit fraction.
Properties:

1. It is a symmetric matrix.
2. Its determinant value is always positive.

Examples:

Input : N = 2
Output : 1    0.5
         0.5  0.33                   

Input : N = 3
Output : 1.0000    0.5000    0.3333
         0.5000    0.3333    0.2500
         0.3333    0.2500    0.2000

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Mathematically, Hilbert Matrix can be formed by the given formula:

 
Let H be a Hilbert Matrix of NxN.
Then
H(i, j) = 1/(i+j-1)

Below is the basic implementation of the above formula.
