<p>A <strong>k-mirror number</strong> is a <strong>positive</strong> integer <strong>without leading zeros</strong> that reads the same both forward and backward in base-10 <strong>as well as</strong> in base-k.</p>

<ul>
	<li>For example, <code>9</code> is a 2-mirror number. The representation of <code>9</code> in base-10 and base-2 are <code>9</code> and <code>1001</code> respectively, which read the same both forward and backward.</li>
	<li>On the contrary, <code>4</code> is not a 2-mirror number. The representation of <code>4</code> in base-2 is <code>100</code>, which does not read the same both forward and backward.</li>
</ul>

<p>Given the base <code>k</code> and the number <code>n</code>, return <em>the <strong>sum</strong> of the</em> <code>n</code> <em><strong>smallest</strong> k-mirror numbers</em>.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> k = 2, n = 5
<strong>Output:</strong> 25
<strong>Explanation:
</strong>The 5 smallest 2-mirror numbers and their representations in base-2 are listed as follows:
  base-10    base-2
    1          1
    3          11
    5          101
    7          111
    9          1001
Their sum = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25. 
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> k = 3, n = 7
<strong>Output:</strong> 499
<strong>Explanation:
</strong>The 7 smallest 3-mirror numbers are and their representations in base-3 are listed as follows:
  base-10    base-3
    1          1
    2          2
    4          11
    8          22
    121        11111
    151        12121
    212        21212
Their sum = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 121 + 151 + 212 = 499.

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> k = 7, n = 17
<strong>Output:</strong> 20379000
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The 17 smallest 7-mirror numbers are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 121, 171, 242, 292, 16561, 65656, 2137312, 4602064, 6597956, 6958596
