Okay so for this question all you need to do is find out the volume of the box which is the surface area multiplyed by the depth......
so the smaller box is 6 x 4 x 3 = 72 cm3
larger box = 6 x 8 x 12 = 576 cm3
Therefore to calculate how many boxes fit into the large box divide the volume of the big box by the small box and see how many times it will fit
576 divided by 72 = 8
so the answer is 8 times
Update by Dsstrainer:
This is unfortunately incorrect and not as easy as you are making it. It only works if you smash the smaller boxes into a billion pieces and have no spaces. Volume only works with liquids or plasmas and maybe dust. Since you are dealing with 3 dimensions, it is a much more complex scenario referred to as Bin Packing:

How many max size box to put in a 12x8x8 foot space?
To determine how many maximum-sized boxes can fit in a 12x8x8 foot space, we first need to define the dimensions of the boxes. Assuming the boxes are of size 1x1x1 foot, you can fit 12 boxes along the 12-foot length, 8 boxes along the 8-foot width, and 8 boxes along the 8-foot height. This results in a total of 12 x 8 x 8 = 768 boxes. If the box size changes, the calculation would need to be adjusted accordingly.

The number of banker boxes that can fit on a pallet depends on the size of the boxes and the dimensions of the pallet. Standard pallets are typically 40 inches by 48 inches. If each banker box measures around 12 inches by 15 inches and you stack them, you could fit approximately 20 to 30 boxes per layer, depending on how they are arranged, and several layers high, depending on weight limits and stability. Thus, a rough estimate could range from 100 to 300 boxes per pallet.
