How to Convert Cubic Yards to Cubic Inches

To convert a measurement in cubic yards to a measurement in cubic inches, multiply 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 inches = cubic yards × 46,656

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

For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic yards to cubic inches using the formula above.

cubic inches = (5 yd³ × 46,656) = 233,280 in³
