How this cubic foot to cubic yard calculator works
Enter a volume in cubic feet. The calculator divides that number by 27 and shows the result in cubic yards. yd³ = ft³ ÷ 27.
One yard is 3 feet. Volume uses three dimensions, so a cubic yard holds 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubic feet. Dividing by 27 is the same as multiplying by 1 ÷ 27. The multiplier card shows that factor to six decimal places: 0.037037. The relation card states the exact link, 1 yd³ = 27 ft³.
Worked example: the field’s sample volume is 100 ft³. 100 ÷ 27 = 3.703703703…, which the page rounds to 3.703704 yd³. A cube that is 3 feet on every side is 27 ft³ and converts to exactly 1 yd³. Half of that, 13.5 ft³, converts to 0.5 yd³.
This is a volume conversion. Dividing a length in feet by 3 gives yards. Dividing a volume in cubic feet by 27 gives cubic yards. The result is rounded to at most six decimal places, and trailing zeros are dropped. Zero is allowed and returns 0 yd³. A negative volume is rejected. The circle fills as the input approaches 50 ft³, which is 1.851852 yd³, and stays full above that while the cubic-yard figure keeps growing.
Cubic foot to cubic yard examples
Each cubic-yard value is the cubic-foot volume divided by 27, rounded the same way as the calculator.
| Cubic feet | Cubic yards | What it marks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.037037 | 1 ÷ 27 |
| 9 | 0.333333 | One third of a cubic yard |
| 13.5 | 0.5 | Half a cubic yard |
| 27 | 1 | A 3 ft cube |
| 50 | 1.851852 | Ring is full |
| 54 | 2 | Two cubic yards |
| 100 | 3.703704 | Sample input |
| 270 | 10 | Ten cubic yards |
How to read the result
Divide by 27
27 ft³ is exactly 1 cubic yard, because 27 ÷ 27 = 1.
Volume, not length
Cube the yard-to-foot factor. 3 × 3 × 3 is the divisor used here.
Six decimal places
1 ft³ is printed as 0.037037 yd³, and 100 ft³ is printed as 3.703704 yd³.
The circle
The ring is full at 50 ft³. 100 ft³ still converts to 3.703704 yd³.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert cubic feet to cubic yards?
Divide the volume in cubic feet by 27. yd³ = ft³ ÷ 27. The page shows that result to at most six decimal places. 100 ft³ is 3.703704 yd³.
Why is the divisor 27?
One yard is 3 feet. A cubic yard is a cube one yard on each side, so it holds 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubic feet. Entering 27 returns 1 yd³.
What is 1 cubic foot in cubic yards?
1 ÷ 27 = 0.037037037…, which this page rounds to 0.037037 yd³. The multiplier card shows the same factor, 1 ÷ 27, to six decimal places as 0.037037.
How many cubic feet are in 1 cubic yard?
Exactly 27. The relation card on this page states 1 yd³ = 27 ft³. Multiplying a cubic-yard result by 27 returns the cubic feet.
Is this the same as converting feet to yards?
A length in feet is divided by 3 to get yards. This page converts volume, so it divides by 3 cubed, which is 27. A box 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft holds 27 ft³, which is 1 yd³, not 3 yd.
How many decimal places are shown?
The cubic-yard figure is rounded to six decimal places, and trailing zeros are dropped. 9 ft³ appears as 0.333333 yd³, 13.5 ft³ appears as 0.5 yd³, and 50 ft³ appears as 1.851852 yd³.
Can I convert zero or a negative volume?
Zero is allowed and returns 0 yd³. A negative number is rejected. The field must be 0 or greater.
Why does the circle fill at 50 cubic feet?
The ring is a visual scale that is full when the input reaches 50 ft³. That volume is 1.851852 yd³. Larger volumes still convert. 100 ft³ is 3.703704 yd³.
How do I turn cubic yards back into cubic feet?
Multiply the cubic yards by 27. Cubic feet = yd³ × 27. A result of 2 yd³ is 54 ft³, and a result of 10 yd³ is 270 ft³.
Why does 100 cubic feet show as 3.703704?
100 ÷ 27 = 3.703703703…, with 3 repeating. Rounded to six decimal places, the next digit lifts the last 3, so the page shows 3.703704 yd³.
