There is a 2D matrix of 0s and 1s that depicts the number of rooms that can be formed by a co-working space company like WeWork based on the values. 1 means open space for room and 0 means wall. We need to group as many 1s and possible to form the largest and minimum number of rooms.

E.g.
Number of Rows = 5, Number of Columns = 5
00010
01110
01100
01101
00011

Output: 4

Input 2:
4
3

001
111
011
100

Output: 4
