Liters and gallons are similar units of measurement in that they’re both designed to measure volume.
However, these units of volume are from different measurement systems, so converting between the two can sometimes seem like a challenge.
Luckily, there is a simple formula that can help you quickly figure out how many liters are in a gallon.
There are about .26 gallons to every one liter.
To find out how many liters are in a gallon, simply divide the number of liters by 3.785.
Liters / 3.785 = Gallons.
For example, if you have 5 liters, divide it by 3.785 to get 1.32, which is the approximate number of gallons in 5 liters.
If you want to find out how many gallons there are in a certain number of liters, you can reverse the equation.
Instead, multiply the number of gallons by 3.785.
Gallons x 3.75 = Liters.
For example, if you have 10 gallons, multiply that by 3.785 to get 37.85, which is the number of liters in 10 gallons.
Remembering the formula for converting liters to gallons or gallons to liters can be a bit tricky, so you can also always look up a conversion chart for common answers.

Liters Measurement
Liters are part of the metric system of measurement, which was first used in France in the 1700s. This system is decimal-based, so it’s easy to convert between different units of measurement within the system.
Gallons Measurement
Gallons, on the other hand, are part of the imperial system, which is widely used in the United States but is less common in other parts of the world.
