How many of the cubes have 2 most faces painted?

Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
Number of the cubes with 0 faces painted is (6 - 2)³ = 4³ = 64

For minimum number of cuts we will get 50 from 2 x 5 x 5 and cuts is 1 + 4 + 4 = 9

For maximum number of cuts it has to be in one cut only, so number of cuts is 49

If 45 = 1 x 1 x 45 then we require only 44 cuts in one plane.
If 1 x 3 x 15 then we require 2 cuts in one plane and 14 cuts in other plane so total number of cuts is 2 + 14 = 16.
If 1 x 5 x 9 the we require 4 cuts in one plane and 8 cuts in other plane so total number of cuts is 4 + 8 = 12
If 3 x 3 x 5 then we require 2 cuts in one plane, 2 cuts in 2^nd plane and 4 cuts in 3^rd plane so total number of cuts is 2 + 2 + 4 = 8.

For maximum number of pieces cuts has to be 6, 7 and 7 and maximum number of pieces is (6 + 1)(7 + 1)(7 + 1) = 7 x 8 x 8 = 448.
Minimum number of pieces is 20 + 1 = 21.
Hence required ratio is 448:21

Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
At most 2 faces painted means number of cubes with 0 face painted + number of cubes with 1 face painted + number of cubes with 2 face painted = 64 + 48 + 96 = 208

Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
At least 2 faces painted means number of cubes with 2 face painted + number of cubes with 3 face painted = 96 + 8 = 104.

Out of 6 faces of 3 faces are exposed and those were painted.
Number of vertices with three faces exposed (Painted) is 1
Number of vertices with 2 faces exposed (Painted) is 3
Number of vertices with 1 faces exposed (Painted) is 3
Number of vertices with 0 faces exposed (Painted) is 1
Number of sides with 2 sides exposed (Painted) is 3
Number of sides with 1 sides exposed (Painted) is 6
Number of sides with no sides exposed (Painted) is 3
From the above observation
Number of cubes with 3 faces Painted is 1
Number of cubes with 2 faces Painted is given by sides which is exposed from two sides and there are 3 such sides and from one we will get 6 such cubes hence required number of cubes is 6 x 3 = 18
Number of cubes with 1 face Painted is given by faces which is exposed from one sides and there are 3 such faces hence required number of cubes is 36 x 3 = 108
Number of cubes with 0 face Painted is given by difference between total number of cubes - number of cubes with at least 1 face painted = 343 - 1- 18 - 108 = 216
In other words number of cubes with 0 painted is (7 - 1)³ = 216.
From the above explanation number of the cubes with 0 faces painted is 216.

Number of cubes with 0 face Painted is given by difference between total number of cubes - number of cubes with at least 1 face painted = 343 - 1- 18 - 108 = 216
In other words number of cubes with 0 painted is (7 - 1)³ = 216.
From the above explanation number of the cubes with 2 face painted is 18.

In other words number of cubes with 0 painted is (7 - 1)³ = 216.
From the above explanation number of the cubes with at most 2 faces painted is 216 + 108 + 18 = 342.
Or else 343 - 1 = 342
