As learnt in

Voids -

Voids are empty spaces in a unit cell. They are of four types: triangular, tetrahedral, octahedral, cubic.

-

 

 We know that the no. of actohedral voids in a close packed structure = no. of atoms for a cubic close packed structure, no. of atoms = 1

\therefore octahedral voids = 1
