The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2

And you are left with almost a square. One less than the square of side n.
