Show that there exists a $10 \times 10$ table of distinct natural numbers such that if $R_i$ is equal to the multiplication of numbers of row $i$ and $S_i$ is equal to multiplication of numbers of column $i$, then numbers $R_1$, $R_2$, ... , $R_{10}$ make a nontrivial arithmetic sequence and numbers $S_1$, $S_2$, ... , $S_{10}$ also make a nontrivial arithmetic sequence. (A nontrivial arithmetic sequence is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms not equal to $0$).
