How to Convert Cubic Feet to Cubic Yards
To convert a measurement in cubic feet to a measurement in cubic yards, divide the volume by the following conversion ratio: 27 cubic feet/cubic yard.
Since one cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet, you can use this simple formula to convert:
cubic yards = cubic feet ÷ 27
The volume in cubic yards is equal to the volume in cubic feet divided by 27.
For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic feet to cubic yards using the formula above.
cubic yards = (5 ft³ ÷ 27) = 0.185185 yd³
