How big are the small square tiles?
.
Take the total area (74*128, or 9472) and divide by the area of the small tile.
For instance, if each small tile is 1"x1", then 9472 tiles are needed.
If each small tile is 2"x2", then 9472/4 or 2368 tiles are needed.
If each tile is 4"x4", then 9472/4 or 1684 tiles are needed.
