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 500 gallons into cubic meters we have to multiply 500 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

500 gal → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 500 gal × 0.0037854118 m3

V_(m3) = 1.8927059 m3

The final result is:

500 gal → 1.8927059 m3

We conclude that 500 gallons is equivalent to 1.8927059 cubic meters:

500 gallons = 1.8927059 cubic meters
