Well, honey, let me break it down for you. To form a rectangular array, you need to find pairs of factors of 24. So, 1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, and 4 x 6. That's a total of 4 rectangular arrays you can make with 24 tiles. Math can be sassy too, you know!
It's a prime number. Therefore the only rectangular array it has is 1*73 (or 73*1)
The answer depends on how many letter tiles you have and which letters are on those tiles.
3/10 of a tile
The number of arrays that can be formed with 24 counters depends on how the counters are arranged. An array is typically defined by its dimensions, such as rows and columns, where the product of the two dimensions equals the total number of counters. Since 24 can be factored into pairs of integers (such as 1x24, 2x12, 3x8, 4x6, and their reverses), you can create different rectangular arrays based on these factors. In total, there are 8 unique arrangements (considering both dimensions) for 24 counters.
The number of arrays you can make with the number 16 depends on how you define "arrays." If you're referring to the factors of 16, they are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16, which can form rectangular arrays of various dimensions (e.g., 1x16, 2x8, 4x4). In terms of combinations or arrangements of the number 16 in an array (like in permutations), the possibilities would be significantly greater, depending on the context and constraints you apply.

It depends on the tiles. None if they are all hexagonal tiles!
As many as there are different rectangles.

Assuming that the arrays need to be rectangular, the answer is 14,597,412,049,059,800,000 or approx 15 quintillion.

If the area is "well behaved" or if most offcuts are used then 77 tiles will suffice. However, if the area is not rectangular then you are likely to require more. Also, unless the length or width of the rectangular area is an exact multiple of 19.5 inches, there will be many off-cuts.
