<p>A <b>packing density</b> or <b>packing fraction</b> of a packing in some space is the <a href="page.php?w=fraction_%28mathematics%29">fraction</a> of the space filled by the figures making up the packing. In simplest terms, this is the ratio of the volume of bodies in a space to the volume of the space itself. In <a href="page.php?w=packing_problems">packing problems</a>, the objective is usually to obtain a packing of the greatest possible density.</p>
