Let's pretend you had some geometry that had n-gons. So let's hit Shift + A, come over to cylinder, let's scale up our cylinder, and G to move it to the corner, and we want to make sure that we're eating this cube around all the edges, the top and the bottom. Okay, great, now come to modifier, and let's open this up to get some more real estate. Add modifier, and let's add a boolean.
