Conversion to cubic meters
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

The most straightforward method will be to convert each of the inch measurements into meters:
There are 39.37 inches per meter, so one inch is 0.0254 meters.
15 inches x 0.0254 inches/meter = 0.3810 meters
23 inches x 0.0254 inches/meter = 0.5842 meters
10 inches x 0.0254 inches/meter = 0.2540 meters
Now you have a box .381 m x .5842 m x .254 m.
Multiplying that out:
.381 x .5842 x .254 m x m x m = 0.0565 m³
Alternatively, you could multiply 15 in x 23 in x 10 in to get 3,450 in³, then multiply in³ by 1.639e-05 m³/in³ to convert to m³:
3,450 in³ x 1.639e-05 m³/in³ = 0.0564 m³
The 1.639e-05 in³/m³ conversion factor is really just 0.0254 in/m x 0.0254 in/m x 0.0254 in/m multiplied out in advance.
In my opinion, doing it the first way is more logical, but the second method is faster.
