how many baseballs will fit in a container 301.5 x 96.99 x 105.04

Question

These are regulation size baseballs

Answer 1

This same question keeps coming up.

 

You have length L, width W, and height H of a container (specify units, please).  You did not state the diameter of the balls, with units.  Suppose the diameter is D.

 

Compute L/D, and round down to the next lower integer if L/D is not an integer.  That gives you how many balls fit side by side along the length of the box.  Do the same for W/D and H/D, rounding down to an integer where needed.  Then the maximum number of balls that fit in the box, side by side along the length and width, and stacked vertically, is

 

(L/D)(W/D)(H/D) = LWH / D³,

 

with integer rounding as noted above.
