Calculate Number of Gaps

Calculator for the number of gaps or intermediate pieces in a regular arrangement of spheres or similar objects in a surface or in a space. Gaps occur when adjacent pieces do not fit together seamlessly. Please specify the number of pieces in length and width, and in the case of a three-dimensional arrangement also in height. The number of gaps is calculated. The formula is (l-1)*(w-1) or (l-1)*(w-1)*(h-1) for h≥2.
