Although there are eight atoms involved in any given unit cell, each atom in the simple cubic structure is part of eight different cells, one corner of each. Thus, there are 8 atoms times 1/8 atom per corner or 1 atom per unit cell.) How many atoms per unit area are there in the (100) plane? The (110) plane? The (111) plane?
