Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question

Let the bigger cube volume to be V.
Lets say it is divided into ‘n’ small cubes of each of the volume ‘v’.
Then, applying the conservation principle of volume.
Since no mass is losing,
so final volume before & after the breakage should be same.
V = nv
n = \frac{V}{v}
