You will get two answers depending on how you break the chocolate.

Step 1: You break the chocolate vertically first into segments. Align these segments together and together break it into small squares.

In this case, the number of steps reqd will be (m + n - 2)

Step 2: You break the chocolate vertically first into segments, then individually break the segments into small squares.

In this case the number of steps reqd will be (m - 1) + m(n - 1)
