Stacks
Given a list of list of positive integers stacks, you can take any stack(s) in stacks and pop any number of elements. Return the maximum sum that can be achieved such that all stacks have the same sum.
Constraints
- n * m ≤ 500,000where- nand- mare the number of rows and columns in- stacks

Examples
Example 1
Input
- stacks = [[2, 3, 4, 5], [4, 5, 2, 3, 3], [9, 1, 1, 1]]
Output
- answer = 9
Explanation
Here are the operations we can take
- Pop [5]from the first stack to get[2, 3, 4]for a sum of9.
- Pop [2, 3, 3]from the second stack to get[4, 5]for a sum of9.
- Pop [1, 1, 1]from the first stack to get[9]for a sum of9.
Example 2
Input
- stacks = [[5, 13], [7, 2], [50]]
Output
- answer = 0
Explanation
We have to pop all elements from every stack since there’s no way to make the three stacks have equal sum otherwise.
