Provide options based on combination of existing data

Hi..
I have a table with entries like (Example from table, real table is very large) -

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Length[/TD]
[TD]Width[/TD]
[TD]No[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]300[/TD]
[TD]300[/TD]
[TD]50[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]600[/TD]
[TD]200[/TD]
[TD]30[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]900[/TD]
[TD]600[/TD]
[TD]10[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]250[/TD]
[TD]450[/TD]
[TD]25[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I want to extract information where if I give a number for length and width the query can tell me all possible combinations. Eg. User enters Length = 1800 and Width = 600. The result should be -

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Option[/TD]
[TD]Length[/TD]
[TD]Width[/TD]
[TD]No needed to form [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]900[/TD]
[TD]600[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]300[/TD]
[TD]300[/TD]
[TD]12[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]etc....need all possible combination[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Will appreciate the help.

It would probably help if you would explain in more detail how to are calculating the results.

TIP: Keep in mind that we no nothing about what you are trying to do or the work you do.

These length and width pieces are basically wooden flat rectangular pieces and have to be combined together to form a bigger piece. The dimension of the bigger pieces always varies and we have to somehow manage to form the bigger piece from available smaller pieces.

I hope this brings things to perspective.
Thanks

I am still clueless about what you are trying to calculate. I still have no idea how you calculated thed two option in your example.

Programming is the art of taking all the exact steps you would perform when doing it manually on paper and translating the steps into instructions the computer can perform.
