Question
What is the maximum number of electrons in an atom that can have the following quantum numbers?
n= 4
ml= -3
ms= +1/2
How would you figure that out given those information? What's the process of that?

For N = 4
and m<sub>l</sub> = -3
then l = 3
You can have two electrons (m<sub>s</sub> = +/- 1/2) with m<sub>l</sub> = -3.

I'm still not quite sure how you were able to figure that out.
