I will assume the cubes are solid and so cannot be squeezed into different shapes....
40/6 = 6 2/3; so 6 cubes in that direction
28/6 = 4 1/3; so 4 cubes in that direction
18/6 = 3; so 3 cubes in that direction
ANSWER: 6*4*3 = 72 cubes

The "solution" by @MathLover1 is absurdist.
Do not take it seriously.
