Conversion formula

The conversion factor from gallons to cubic meters is 0.0037854118, which means that 1 gallon is equal to 0.0037854118 cubic meters:

1 gal = 0.0037854118 m3

To convert 231 gallons into cubic meters we have to multiply 231 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from gallons to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 gal → 0.0037854118 m3

231 gal → V_(m3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic meters:

V_(m3) = 231 gal × 0.0037854118 m3

V_(m3) = 0.8744301258 m3

The final result is:

231 gal → 0.8744301258 m3

We conclude that 231 gallons is equivalent to 0.8744301258 cubic meters:

231 gallons = 0.8744301258 cubic meters
