Diameter of Jupiter: 142,800 kilometers (radius 71,400)
Diameter of Sun: 1,392,000 kilometers (radius 696,000)

Volume = 4/3*pi*radius^3

Since you want the ratio of Sun::Jupiter volume, we can ignore the 4/3*pi and the ratio is just Radius(Sun)^3 / Radius(Jupiter)^3
So 696000^3 / 71400^3 = 926.3

926 Jupiters can fit in the Sun.

There are two answers.

If you mean squash them up inside the sun so there is no gaps, then the above answer is correct.

If you mean keeping all the Jupiter's spherical shapes, like bullseyes in a jar,then you can halve that.

Interestingly enough, a sphere is just about half the volume of the cube of the same linear dimensions.

This provides a quick method of estimating sizes of spheres without reference to the awkward formula.
