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 316 gallons into cubic meters we have to multiply 316 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

316 gal → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 316 gal × 0.0037854118 m3

V_(m3) = 1.1961901288 m3

The final result is:

316 gal → 1.1961901288 m3

We conclude that 316 gallons is equivalent to 1.1961901288 cubic meters:
