A large box measures 6 meters by 5 meters by 4 meters. If smaller boxes each measuring 60 cm by 50 cm by 40 cm are placed inside, what is the greatest number of smaller boxes that can fit inside the larger box?

Explanation

The large box dimensions converted to centimeters are 600 cm x 500 cm x 400 cm. Dividing each dimension by the corresponding smaller box dimension (600/60 = 10, 500/50 = 10, 400/40 = 10), the total number of smaller boxes that fit is 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000.
