According to Avogadro's Number there are 6.022 * 10²³ atoms in 1 mol of atoms. So:

1 mol of atoms of P = 6.022 * 10²³ atoms of P

We are asked to find the number of moles that we have in 3.20 * 10²⁵ atoms of phosphorus.

number of moles = 3.20 * 10²⁵ atoms of P * 1 mol of P /(6.022 * 10²³ atoms of P)

number of moles of P = 53.1 moles

Then the answer to our problem is 53.1 moles.
