  1. Find the conversion factor from Board foot to Cubic foot

    1 FBM = 0.002359737216 m³ · 1 ft³ = 0.02831684659 m³

    factor = 0.002359737216 ÷ 0.02831684659 = 0.08333333333 ft³ per FBM

  2. Multiply by the factor: FBM cancels, leaving ft³

    ft³ = FBM × (ft³ per FBM)

    1 FBM × 0.08333333333 ft³ per FBM = 0.08333333333 ft³

How it works

1 FBM = 0.08333333333 ft³, so ft³ = FBM × 0.08333333333
