How to Convert Cubic Meters to Gallons
To convert a measurement in cubic meters to a measurement in gallons, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 264.172052 gallons/cubic meter.
Since one cubic meter is equal to 264.172052 gallons, you can use this simple formula to convert:
gallons = cubic meters × 264.172052
The volume in gallons is equal to the volume in cubic meters multiplied by 264.172052.
For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic meters to gallons using the formula above.
gallons = (5 m³ × 264.172052) = 1,320.860262 gal
How Many Gallons Are in a Cubic Meter?
There are 264.172052 gallons in a cubic meter, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 m³ = 264.172052 gal
