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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
