How many of Earth's moon can fit inside Jupiter?

Jupiter has a planetary volume of 1321 times that of the Earth. The Moon has a volume 0.020 times that of the earth. so the volume of Jupiter is 66,050 times the volume of the earth's Moon.If you ignore the spaces left vacant by the spherical shape of the moon, you would fit 66,050 Earth moons inside Jupiter; considerably fewer if you are really packing spheres the size of Earth's moon within a sphere of Jupiter's volume.
