    Diameter of bigger sphere = 12 cm
    Radius (R) = 12/2 = 6 cm.
    Volume of the bigger sphere,
    = 4/3 * pi * R *R *R
    = 4/3 * 3.14 * 6 * 6 *6

    Radius of smaller sphere = 1/2 = 0.5 cm.
    Volume of smaller sphere
    = 4/3 * 3.14 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5

    Volume of bigger sphere = N * volume of smaller sphere
    4/3 * 3.14 * 6 * 6 *6 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * N
    0.5 *0.5 * 0.5 N = 6 *6 *6
    N = 1728.
    Where N = number of smaller sphere.
