| In a 1969 paper, Dutch mathematician [[Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn]] proved several results about packing [[congruence (geometry)|congruent]] rectangular bricks (of any dimension) into larger rectangular boxes, in such a way that no space is left over. One of these results is now known as '''de Bruijn's theorem'''. According to this theorem, a "harmonic brick" (one in which each side length is a multiple of the next smaller side length) can only be packed into a box whose dimensions are multiples of the brick's dimensions.<ref name="db69">{{citation

| |
| | |
| ==Boxes that are multiples of the brick==
| |
| Suppose that a <math>\scriptstyle d</math>-dimensional rectangular box (mathematically a [[cuboid]]) has [[integer]] side lengths <math>\scriptstyle A_1 \times A_2 \times \dots \times A_d</math> and a brick has lengths <math>\scriptstyle a_1 \times a_2 \times \dots \times a_d</math>. If the sides of the brick can be multiplied by another set of integers <math>\scriptstyle b_i</math> so that <math>\scriptstyle a_1b_1,a_2b_2,\dots a_d b_d</math> are a [[permutation]] of <math>\scriptstyle A_1, A_2,\dots,A_d</math>, the box is called a ''multiple'' of the brick. The box can then be filled with such bricks in a trivial way with all the bricks oriented the same way.<ref name="db69"/>
| |
| | |
| ==A generalization==
| |
| Not every packing involves boxes that are multiples of bricks. For instance, as de Bruijn observes, a <math>\scriptstyle 5\times 6</math> rectangular box can be filled with copies of a <math>\scriptstyle 2\times 3</math> rectangular brick, although not with all the bricks oriented the same way. However, {{harvtxt|de Bruijn|1969}} proves that if the bricks can fill the box, then for each <math>a_i,</math> at least one of the <math>A_i</math> is a multiple. In the above example, the side of length <math>6</math> is a multiple of both <math>2</math> and <math>3</math>.<ref name="db69"/>
| |
| | |
| ==Harmonic bricks==
| |
| The second of de Bruijn's results, the one called de Bruijn's theorem, concerns the case where each side of the brick is a multiple of the next smaller side. De Bruijn calls a brick with this property ''harmonic''. For instance, the most frequently used [[brick]]s in the USA have dimensions <math>\scriptstyle 2\frac{1}{4}\times 4\times 8</math> (in inches), which is not harmonic, but a type of brick sold as "Roman brick" has the harmonic dimensions <math>\scriptstyle 2\times 4\times 12</math>.<ref>{{citation

| De Bruijn's theorem states that, if a harmonic brick is packed into a box, then the box must be a multiple of the brick. For instance, the three-dimensional harmonic brick with side lengths 1, 2, and 6 can only be packed into boxes in which one of the three sides is a multiple of six and one of the remaining two sides is even.<ref name="db69"/><ref>{{citation

| ==Non-harmonic bricks==
| |
| The third of de Bruijn's results is that, if a brick is not harmonic, then there is a box that it can fill that is not a multiple of the brick. The packing of the <math>\scriptstyle 2\times 3</math> brick into the <math>\scriptstyle 5\times 6</math> box provides an example of this phenomenon.<ref name="db69"/>

| |
| In the two-dimensional case, the third of de Bruijn's results is easy to visualize. A box with dimensions <math>\scriptstyle A_1=a_1</math> and <math>\scriptstyle A_2=a_1a_2</math> is easy to pack with <math>\scriptstyle a_1</math> copies of a brick with dimensions <math>\scriptstyle a_1,a_2</math>, placed side by side. For the same reason, a box with dimensions <math>\scriptstyle A_1=a_1a_2</math> and <math>\scriptstyle A_2=a_2</math> is also easy to pack with copies of the same brick. Rotating one of these two boxes so that their long sides are parallel and placing them side by side results in a packing of a larger box with <math>\scriptstyle A_1=a_1+a_2</math> and <math>\scriptstyle A_2=a_1a_2</math>. This larger box is a multiple of the brick if and only if the brick is harmonic.
