Default Explain to me like a child: Factors necessary to play for set value

I have the basic numbers:

An underpair (pre-flop) will beat an overpair a little less that 19%.

I will flop a set with a pocket pair 11.8% of the time.

What I am lost on is the implied odds. What I am hoping someone can explain to me is:

In order to profitably play for set value (in NL), there must be A in the pot, Villain must have a stack of B, and Hero's stack must be C.

An explanation of how this differs heads-up and multiway would be helpful as well.

Thanks in advance.
