How it works

Both units measure volume, so they are always in the same ratio: one US gallon equals 8 US pints. The calculator multiplies the number of US gallons you type by 8 to give US pints, and when you type into the US pints field it divides by the same factor to give US gallons. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the US gallons always doubles the US pints. Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation).

How to convert US gallons to US pints

1. Write down the value in US gallons, for example 1 US gal.
2. Multiply by the conversion factor 8 (because 1 US gallon = 8 US pt).
3. 1 × 8 = 8 US pt.
4. To go back from US pints to US gallons, divide by 8 – or multiply by 0.125.
