How volume conversion works
All volume units relate to the liter through fixed multipliers. To convert between any two units, the value is first converted to liters, then from liters to the target unit.
1 liter = 0.2642 gallons = 4.2268 cups = 33.814 fl oz
These conversions use US customary units. UK imperial pints, quarts, and gallons are about 20% larger.
