28%2F4=7 cards in that direction and
25%2F6=4%261%2F6 or 4 cards in the other direction for a total of,
N%5B1%5D=7%2A4=28

If you choose the 4 inch cut to be made from the 25 inch side you can make
25%2F4=6%261%2F4 or 6 cards in that direction and
28%2F6=4%264%2F6 or 4 cards in the other direction for a total of,
N%5B2%5D=6%2A4=24
So the greater is 28.
