Looks like you are trying to divide x amount of items into rows and columns.
Well if the number of items is a prime number then you have 1 row and x columns or versa, your only choice without dividing up an item.
if you have 15 items 3*5 or 5*3 rows and columns
if you have 12 items you can do 2 and 6 or 3 and 4.
So if you are starting with item numbers you are limited to the divisions by the nature of the number x.
The original 13 states had a hell of a time designing a flag with rows and columns but if you make in between rows one less then you can order more stars
