Little when you refers to something you can't count and often used with singular nouns , Where "Few" used to countable plural nouns .

Example :

There is little that you can do about this situation.


There is few people who actually cares about nature

"Few" refers to a small amount of things which can be counted and measured. "Little" is a small amount of one thing.
"Few" refers more to quantity around usually at least 3, but less than half. For example, in a group of 10 students, a "few" (or several) of them would refer to around 3-4 of them. Five would be "half." two would be a "couple." More than 5 would be "most" of them.

Ex.
I only want a little cake =Natural
Meaning, "I only want a small amount of cake."
I only want a few cake. = X Unnatural

Of course "little" also means just "small" as in, "She ate a little piece of cake."

"She ate a few pieces of cake," is correct as well, since it shows she ate more than one, but not all of the cake slices.

Colloquially, people sometimes use "little" interchangeably with "few."

"There were only a little/few of them left."

But "few" can't be interchanged with "little" all the time, like my earlier example.

"She only had a few of it left." = X Unnatural
"She only had a little of it left."= Natural
"She only had a few of them left." = Natural (since it's plural)
"She only had a little of them left."= Colloquially natural.
