Usually, you divide by the area of a single tile. But this may not work if the tiles have an unusual shape, or if you need fractional tiles to cover the entire area.

How many 18 x 18 inch tiles to do a 320 sq ft area?
142.22 tiles First, calculate the number of square inches you need by converting : 320 ft²*144 in² 1 ft²=46,080 in² Second, determine the area of the tiles: 18in * 18in = 324 in² Lastly, divide the total area by the area of the tile to determine the number you need: 46,080 in² / 324 in² = 142.22 tiles
How many 30 mm x 30 mm tiles in a square meter?
Area of each tile = 30*30 = 900 mm2. Area to be covered = 1000*1000 = 1,000,000 mm2 So, number of tiles required = 1,000,000/900 = 1111.11... tiles.
How many 6 x 6 inch square tiles to cover 65 square feet?
Area of one tile = 6" x 6" = 0.5 ft x 0.5 ft = 0.25 sq ft. Area to be covered = 65 sq ft Minimum number of tiles required = 65/0.25 = 260 tiles. This is the minimum number. In real life, the number may be larger if the area to be covered is not rectangular, or whose sides are not not an exact number of half-feet. It will then be necessary to cut tiles and that could result in breakages. Also, additional tiles may be required unless you are prepared to have a mosaic of all the offcuts.
How many 10cm square to tiles to tile a space 1m by 40cm?
1 metre = 100 centimetres Area = 100 x 40 = 4000 cm2 Area of each tile = 10x 10 = 100 cm2 Number of tiles required = 4000/100 = 40 tiles Alternatively, 10 tile lengths = 1 metre : 4 tile lengths = 40 cm Number of tiles required = 10 x 4 = 40
How many 3 x 6 tiles are needed to cover 10 square feet?
Area of a 3 in * 6 in tile = 18 sq inches. Area to be covered = 10 sq feet = 10*144 sq inches = 1440 sq inches. Therefore, minimum number of tiles required = 1440/18 = 80 tiles. That is the mathematical answer. In real life the number of tiles required will depend on the shape of the area to be covered and, possibly, its exact dimensions. It will depend on the extent to which offcuts can be used and on breakages.
How do you calculate number of tiles required in an area of 100 sq feet?
You find the area of each tile and then divide 100 sq feet (= 14400 sq inches) by the area of each tile. In real life, you need to allow for gaps between tiles. Also, depending on the shape of the area to be covered, some of the tiles may need cutting. The number of tiles will therefore depend on how skillful you are at cutting tiles, what proportion of offcuts can be used. Normally you should count on least 5% extra, more if you are less skilled. Finally, if the tiles are patterned, you will require a lot more of them to line up the images.
How many 18 x 18 inch tiles to do a 320 sq ft area?

How many 25x25cm tiles are in 25 sq meters?
We, know that tiles are square.So, first calculate area of tiles =side X side .Now , no. of tiles = area of room /area of tiles .Hence,no.of tiles =2500 X 2500 /25 X25 =10000
How many 30 mm x 30 mm tiles in a square meter?
Area of each tile = 30*30 = 900 mm2. Area to be covered = 1000*1000 = 1,000,000 mm2 So, number of tiles required = 1,000,000/900 = 1111.11... tiles.

How many 3 x 6 tiles are needed to cover 10 square feet?
Area of a 3 in * 6 in tile = 18 sq inches. Area to be covered = 10 sq feet = 10*144 sq inches = 1440 sq inches. Therefore, minimum number of tiles required = 1440/18 = 80 tiles. That is the mathematical answer. In real life the number of tiles required will depend on the shape of the area to be covered and, possibly, its exact dimensions. It will depend on the extent to which offcuts can be used and on breakages.
How many 6by6 inch tiles needed to cover 925 sq inches?
Area of each tile = 6*6 = 36 sq inches. So number of tiles required = round-up(925/6) = 155. This, however, is the minimum number of tiles required and is based on the assumptions that the area is well behaved and that offcuts are mostly used. In real life, you should allow at least 5% for breakage and waste.
How many 12 x 12 tiles will it take to cover 1400 square feet?
If the tiles measure 12 inches square then the area of each tile is 1 sq foot. Therefore 1400 tiles are needed to cover an area of 1400 square feet. However, the actual dimensions of the area being tiled can affect the number of tiles required so closer examination is needed.
How many 20 cm by 20 cm tiles you will need to fill a 24 square meter area?
24 m2 is the same as 240,000 cm2. As each tile is 400 cm2, the number of tiles required to fill the area is 240,000 divided by 400, which equals 600, so you will need 600 tiles.
How much tiles you need to tile a floor 10 ft by 12 ft using tiles?
Number of tiles required = roundup(area to be covered/area of each tile) where both are measures are expressed in the same units. For the above calculation, you need to know the size of the tiles. You also need to know how "well-behaved" the area is. That will give an idea of how many tiles need to be cut. Then, depending on your skill level, you need to get 5-10% extra.
How many 12 x 12 tiles is need to do a room 15 x 16?
Area to be covered: 15 x 16 = 240 square units Area of tile = 12 x 12 = 144 square units Number of tiles required = 240/144 = 1.66... . So 2 tiles will be sufficient.
