Gallon to Cubic Decimeter Conversion Formula

To convert from Gallon (gal) to Cubic Decimeter (dm3), use the following formula:

 Cubic Decimeter (dm3)\textbf{ Cubic Decimeter} \text{ (dm3)}

=128×133.8140226× Gallon (gal)= 128 \times \frac{1}{33.8140226}\times \textbf{ Gallon} \text{ (gal)}

=3.785411795401118588× Gallon (gal)= 3.785411795401118588\times \textbf{ Gallon} \text{ (gal)}

With 133.8140226\frac{1}{33.8140226} is the ratio between the base units Litre (l) and Fluid Ounce (fl-oz).

Example

Let's convert 5 Gallon (gal) to Cubic Decimeter (dm3).

Using the formula:

5×3.785411795401118588=18.927058977005592945 \times 3.785411795401118588 = 18.92705897700559294
