    Since a line cannot be less than one pixel wide, so the maximum number of rectangles within a rectangle will always be lesser of these two:
    Rectangle_Width/2 OR Rectangle_Height/2

    I think it is

    Area of large rectangle / Area of small rectangle

    I might be confused here, what are you trying to ask:
    How many rectangles of a given size fit into a bigger rectangle?
    or
    How many rectangles can be drawn inside a given rectangle?

    No way. In your case all space wil be used.
    P.S. Sorry for my poor English...

    Will it be (big_rect_width - small_rect_width) * (big_rect_height - small_rect_height)?
