You are standing on the 2D plane, at point
(
1
,
1
)
(1,1).
In one move, you can move in any of the four directions, as long as both coordinates remain positive. That is, from point
(
x
,
y
)
(x,y), you can move to
(
x

1
,
y
)
,
(
x
+
1
,
y
)
,
(
x
,
y

1
)
,
(x−1,y),(x+1,y),(x,y−1), or
(
x
,
y
+
1
)
(x,y+1), as long as both coordinates of the destination cell are positive.

The cost of point
(
x
,
y
)
(x,y) is defined to be
A

Find the minimum total cost of moving from
(
1
,
1
)
(1,1) to
(
P
,
Q
)
(P,Q), where the total cost of a path is the sum of costs of all points visited along the way (including the initial and final points).

Input Format
The first line of input will contain a single integer
T

Each test case consists of a single line of input, containing four space-separated integers

N,M,P, and
Q

Output Format
For each test case, output on a new line the answer: the minimum cost to reach
(

Q
)
(P,Q).

Explanation of the key ideas and why this works:

  1. Cost is only nonzero at “intersection” points (x,y) where x divides N and y divides M. Everywhere else, the cost is zero.

  2. We start at (1,1). The problem statement says to include the cost at every visited point, so we immediately add cost(1,1).

  3. Because we can only move in ±1 steps in x or y, any time we “cross” from xAll[i] to xAll[i+1], we do so at some y. If there is a “gap” of more than 1 between xAll[i] and xAll[i+1], we can choose an intermediate (safe) x that does not divide N (thus no cost). Similarly for y. Only when both x and y have no gaps (dx = 1 and dy = 1) are we “forced” to land on (xAll[i+1], yAll[j]) or (xAll[i], yAll[j+1]) – which may cost > 0.

  4. By advancing i or j in a “two-pointer” style, we effectively model the cheapest way to traverse from (1,1) up to (P,Q). If there is ever a gap in one dimension, we use it to cross the other dimension at zero cost. If both dimensions have no gap, we pay the forced intersection cost, picking whichever forced crossing is cheaper.

  5. In the end, this ensures we have included the cost of the starting point (1,1), all unavoidable forced intersections, and the final point if it is itself forced (and lies on xDiv × yDiv).

This matches all of the sample tests including the “detour” behaviors (like in the 6×10 → (2,5) example) and works efficiently for N, M, P, Q up to 10^8 and T up to 1000 testcases.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Additional Test Cases you might try:

A) Small edge cases: • N=1, M=1, P=1, Q=1 → Only (1,1), cost = A_1×B_1 = 1×1=1 • N=2, M=3, P=1, Q=3 → Starting (1,1), effectively no moves in x, only y from 1 to 3.

B) Larger random examples to ensure it runs efficiently and gives consistent results.

C) Cases where P or Q is much larger than N or M (the code will then find that many “divisor-lines” do not matter because beyond N you cannot have a new divisor of N, etc., and the path can skip forced intersections in that dimension).
