Conversion formula

The conversion factor from gallons to pints is 8, which means that 1 gallon is equal to 8 pints:

1 gal = 8 pt

To convert 500 gallons into pints we have to multiply 500 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from gallons to pints. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 gal → 8 pt

500 gal → V_(pt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in pints:

V_(pt) = 500 gal × 8 pt

V_(pt) = 4000 pt

The final result is:

500 gal → 4000 pt

We conclude that 500 gallons is equivalent to 4000 pints:

500 gallons = 4000 pints
