POLYOMINO TILINGS

Polyomino Tilings

Select polyominoes for a set (currently 1 or 2), for which tilings should be shown.

Then click "Show" button.

You may also see list of all polyomino sets for which data is available here.

Smallest rectangle (3x6):

Smallest square (6x6):

Rectangle tilings' solutions count (including symmetric)¶

Blue number - strongly prime rectangle (which cannot be divided into two or more number of rectangles tileable by this set).

Green number - weakly prime rectangle (which cannot be divided into two rectangles tileable by this set, but which can be divided into three or more rectangles).

Purple number - prime rectangle (unknown if weakly or strongly prime).

Red number - composite rectangle (which can be divided into two rectangles tileable by this set).

Gray number - it is unknown whether rectangle is prime or composite.

Question mark (?) - solution count is unknown.
