Given a rectangular floor of (M X N) meters is to be paved with square tiles of (s X s). The task is to find the minimum number of tiles required to pave the rectangular floor. 

Constraints: 

  1. It’s allowed to cover the surface larger than the floor, but the floor has to be covered.
  2. It’s not allowed to break the tiles.
  3. The sides of tiles should be parallel to the sides of the floor.

Examples:  

Input: 2 1 2 
Output:
Explanation:
length of floor = 2 
breadth of floor = 1 
length of side of tile = 2 
No of tiles required for paving is 2

Input: 222 332 5 
Output: 3015 

Approach: 

It is given that the edges of each tile must be parallel to the edges of the tiles allows us to analyze X and Y axes separately, that is, how many segments of length ‘s’ are needed to cover a segment of length’ and ‘N’ — and take the product of these two quantities.  

ceil(M/s) * ceil(N/s)

, where ceil(x) is the least integer that is above or equal to x. Using integers only, it is usually written as 

((M + s - 1) / s)*((N + s - 1) / s)

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ implementation of above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the number of tiles
int solve(int M, int N, int s)
{
    // if breadth is divisible by side of square
    if (N % s == 0) {
 
        // tiles required is N/s
        N = N / s;
    }
    else {
 
        // one more tile required
        N = (N / s) + 1;
    }
 
    // if length is divisible by side of square
    if (M % s == 0) {
 
        // tiles required is M/s
        M = M / s;
    }
    else {
        // one more tile required
        M = (M / s) + 1;
    }
 
    return M * N;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // input length and breadth of
    // rectangle and side of square
    int N = 12, M = 13, s = 4;
 
    cout << solve(M, N, s);
 
    return 0;
}
