+
+The outer loop runs in linear time $\mathcal{O}(n)$ whereas the inner loop requires some deconstruction;
+
+Take the first iteration of the inner loop, $i = 2$ and $j$ is initialized at $1$.
+
+\begin{align*}%
+    \label{eq:3_iterations}
+    1^{\text{st}} ~ \text{iteration} &\rightarrow  j = j * i \implies  j = 2 \\
+    2^{\text{nd}} ~ \text{iteration} &\rightarrow  j = 4 \\
+    3^{\text{rd}} ~ \text{iteration} &\rightarrow  j = 8 \\
+    \dots \\
+    m^{\text{th}} ~ \text{iteration} &\rightarrow  j = i^{m} < n \\
+\end{align*}
+
+$m$ is the last iteration of the inner loop because it hit the stopping condition $i^{m} < n$.
+Using the Equations above we can find the running time for the inner loop to hit stopping condition;
+
+\begin{gather*}
+    i^{m} < n \\
+    m < \log_{i} n
+\end{gather*}
+
+In other words, the inner loop has a running time in the order of $\mathcal{O}(\log{n})$. By the product property of $\mathcal{O}$-notation we have the running time of $\mathcal{O}(n\log_{a}{n}), a > 1$ for the entire algorithm. The base $a$ is useful to answer the rest of the question;
+
+We can specify a function $f$ such as $f = n \log_{b}(n)$ where $b > 1$. From the course slides;
+
+\begin{equation*}
+    \lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{n\log_{a}{n}}{n \log_{b}{n}} = c
+\end{equation*}
+
+And when the limit of two functions $f, g$ converge to some constant $c$, then $f(n) = \Theta(g(n))$.
