The Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is the average volume of red cells in a specimen which is 80-96 femtolitres/red cell in an adult.
Taking 88 femtolitres as the volume of the RBC which equals to 8.8 × 10⁻¹¹ cm³
The volume of a staphylococci approximately equals to 5.24 × 10⁻¹³cm³
Now dividing the Volume of RBC by the Volume of staphylococci gives us :
(8.8 × 10⁻¹¹) / (5.24 × 10⁻¹³) = 0.1679389312977099 × 1000 cells.
Ignoring the decimal part, 1000 cells of stophylococci can fit in an RBC.

Approximately 1000 of cells of Staphylococci will be able to fit in the volume of human red blood cell is how I calculated precisely.
The Mean corpuscular volume is the average volume of red cells in a specimen which is 80-96 hectolitres/red cell in an adult.
The volume of the RBC which equals to 8.8 * 10^-11 cm Cube and volume of a staphylococci approximately equals to 5.24 * 10^-13 cm Cube.
So, the Volume of staphylococci gives us 0.1679389312977099 * 1000 cells.
