Okay, thats good to know thanks smile, however still does not answer my question regarding inner cubes which are under 1cm, could you show me an example?
May I assume:


x being the measurement of the inner cubes if lower then 1cm?
y being of course, the end result?

^Now I just googled images and saw the pictures I assume you wanted me to see.  It makes a bit more sense, so many I assume that no cube could ever have less then 1:1 of the volume? so whatever goes into my

would be the measurement of the volume? Are there any volume formulas which calculate backwards? for example if you had the measurement of an object and you wanted to find out how many would be required to make a larger version.

Well I am not sure how that would work out if I were to have a less then 1cm cube, as per the example I gave in my equation.
Are you saying that

would normally = the amount of 1cm cubes which would fit into it? There for I would be dividing the volume instead of the surface area?

All the same size + cube units would be the answer to your question.
for this first section of my issue I choose to use this equation
(I don't know if it is correct or not but it is something I thought of i used the surface area as my starting point and divided it by the length of cubes I wanted to fit within the structure)


X = the length of the cubes edge which the larger cube will be made of.

For example:
Edge = 18cm
X= .6cm


Am I correct in my assumption?
