How to Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Yards

To convert a measurement in cubic inches to a measurement in cubic yards, divide the volume by the following conversion ratio: 46,656 cubic inches/cubic yard.

Since one cubic yard is equal to 46,656 cubic inches, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cubic yards = cubic inches ÷ 46,656

The volume in cubic yards is equal to the volume in cubic inches divided by 46,656.

For example, here's how to convert 50,000 cubic inches to cubic yards using the formula above.

cubic yards = (50,000 in³ ÷ 46,656) = 1.071674 yd³
