How would I use the cell edge length and density to calculate the number of atoms in one unit cell of cyrstalline silicon?

For those interested:

Use the cell edge length to find the volume of a cell. Use the volume and density to find the mass of a cell. Convert mass to moles and then moles to molecules and that is your answer. It all seems so simple now.
