that's unfortunately quite a complex question and there's not one straightforward answer

I'd recommend you check out all of the following articles:

"les" is pretty simple, it's just the definite article in the plural
"des", however, can be an indefinite article, a partitive article, or a combination of the preposition "de" and the definite article "les"
