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 501.5 gallons into cubic meters we have to multiply 501.5 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

501.5 gal → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 501.5 gal × 0.0037854118 m3

V_(m3) = 1.8983840177 m3

The final result is:

501.5 gal → 1.8983840177 m3

We conclude that 501.5 gallons is equivalent to 1.8983840177 cubic meters:
