Since nothing is mentioned about the mode of DMA working whether it is cycle stealing mode or burst mode, we consider it as burst mode by default.
As the data count register of the DMA is 16 bits long in burst mode DMA transfers 216 Bytes (= 64KB) once it gets the control.
To transfer 29,154 KB, no. of times DMA needs to take control
= (29,154 KB / 64KB)
= 29,154/64
= 455.53, means 456 times.
