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 1 gallon into cubic meters we have to multiply 1 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

1 gal → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 1 gal × 0.0037854118 m3

V_(m3) = 0.0037854118 m3

The final result is:

1 gal → 0.0037854118 m3

We conclude that 1 gallon is equivalent to 0.0037854118 cubic meters:

1 gallon = 0.0037854118 cubic meters

Alternative conversion
