Let's assume the container is 40 ft long and a ft wide and b feet tall, and the bales are y feet square. You can put 40/y bales along one wall, or at least the whole number part of the answer because presumably you can't cut the bale. ( e.g. if y is 3 ft, then you could get 13 bales along the wall with a foot of empty space). With similar maths you can work out that you can get (the whole number part of ) a/y, and if you are allowed to pile them up, the whole number part of ) b/y layers. To get the number in one layer multiply the first answer by the second, and to get the volume filling number, the answer to this by the third.
