However, this assumes that the area is well behaved and also that you use most of the offcuts to fill up some of the space as a mosaic.

This minimum number is based on the assumption that the area to be covered is a reasonable shape so that only a few slabs need cutting and that all the resultant offcuts are used - even if part of the area looks like crazy paving!
