If a volume is measured in cubic feet but the answer is required in cubic inches then a conversion process is needed.

1 foot = 12 inches

1 sq ft = 12 x 12 = 144 sq inches

1 cu ft = 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 cu inches.

So, to convert cubic feet to cubic inches, multiply the answer by 1728.

Conversely, to convert cubic inches to cubic feet, divide the answer by 1728.

The number 1728 is used when converting cubic inches to cubic feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot (12 x 12 x 12 = 1728), this conversion accounts for the volume in three dimensions when moving from cubic inches to cubic feet.
