Given N and K, the task is to print N lines where each line contains 4 numbers such that every among those 4 numbers has a GCD K and the maximum number used in N*4 should be minimized.
Note: In case of multiple outputs, print any one. 
Examples: 

Input: N = 1, K = 1 
Output: 1 2 3 5 
Every pair among 1, 2, 3 and 5 gives a GCD K and the largest number among these is 5 which the minimum possible. 

Input: 2 2 
Output
2 4 6 22 
14 18 10 16
In the above input, the maximum number is 22, which is the minimum possible to make 2 lines of 4 numbers. 

Approach: The first observation is that if we can solve the given problem for K=1, we can solve the problem with GCD K by simply multiplying the answers with K. We know that any three consecutive odd numbers have a GCD 1 always when paired, so three numbers of every line can be easily obtained. Hence the lines will look like: 

1 3 5 _ 
7 9 11 _ 
13 15 17 _  
.
.
.

An even number cannot be inserted always, because inserting 6 in third line will give GCD(6, 9) as 3. So the best number that can be inserted is a number between the first two off numbers of every line. Hence the pattern looks like:  

1 2 3 5  
7 8 9 11  
13 14 15 17  
.
.
.

To obtain given GCD K, one can easily multiply K to the obtained numbers. Hence for i-th line:  

  1. the first number will be k * (6*i+1)
  2. the second number will be k * (6*i+1)
  3. the third number will be k * (6*i+3)
  4. the fourth number will be k * (6*i+5)

The maximum number among N*4 numbers will be k * (6*i – 1) 
Below is the implementation of the above approach.

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        cout << k * (6 * i + 1) << " "
             << k * (6 * i + 2) << " "
             << k * (6 * i + 3) << " "
             << k * (6 * i + 5) << endl;

            document.write(k * (6 * i + 1)
            + " " + k * (6 * i + 2) + " "
            + k * (6 * i + 3) + " "
            + k * (6 * i + 5)+"<br/>");

    }
 
    // Driver Code
        var n = 2, k = 2;
        printLines(n, k);
 
// This code is contributed by umadevi9616
</script>


Output: 

2 4 6 10
14 16 18 22

 

Time Complexity: O(N*4), as we are using a loop to traverse N times and doing 4 operations in each traversal.

Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we are not using any extra space.
