How to Convert Cubic Meters to Cubic Yards?

1 cubic meter = 1.308 cubic yards

Value of 1 cubic meter is approximately equal to 1.308 cubic yards. So, to convert cubic meters to cubic yards, we have to multiply the given value by 1.308 cubic yards.

Example: Convert 5.125 cubic meters to cubic yards.

Step 1: Multiply 5.125 by 1.308 cubic yards, i.e., 5.125 cubic meters = 5.125 × 1.308 cubic yards

Step 2: 5.125 cubic meters = 6.7035 cubic yards

Thus, 5.125 cubic meters is approximately equal to 6.7 cubic yards.

Volume is a mathematical quantity that is the measure of space occupied by a three-dimensional object. The volume of a three-dimensional object varies with the shape of the object as there are different shapes like spherical, conical, cylindrical, etc. The volume of an object is also known as the capacity of the object. Generally, the volume of an object is expressed quantitatively using SI-derived units like a cubic meter or liter or by using various imperial units like cubic feet, cubic inches, cubic yards, gallons, quarts, etc. 

Cubic Meters

A cubic meter is a unit of measurement of volume in the International System of Units (SI), which is represented as m³. It is the volume of a cube with measurements of one meter long, one meter wide, and one meter deep. One cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters, 35.3 cubic feet, 61023.74 cubic inches, 1.31 cubic yards, 6.29 oil barrels, 220 imperial gallons, and 264 US fluid gallons.
