Space packing fraction of tetrahedron and octahedron

If four equal size spheres form close-packed tetrahedron, what is the fraction of space that is occupied/unoccupied by the spheres in the tetrahedron.

Similarly, if six equal size spheres form close-packed octahedron, what is the fraction of space that is occupied/unoccupied by the spheres in the octahedron.
