How to divide gallons, quarts and pints

  • Convert gallons to pints by multiplying the number of gallons by 8.
  • Convert quarts to pints by multiplying the number of quarts by 2.
  • Add the above quantities and the number of original pints together.
  • Perform the required division to determine the number of pints.
  • Convert the pints to gallons by dividing by 8.
  • The quotient is the number of gallons and the remainder is the number of extra pints.
  • Convert the extra pints to quarts by dividing the extra pints by 2.
  • The quotient is the number of quarts and the remainder is the number of pints.

Example: Divide 9 gallons 1 quart and 1 pint by 5.
  • Convert 9 gallons to pints by multiplying 9 times 8:
    9 * 8 = 72 pints
  • Convert 1 quart to pints by multiplying 1 times 2:
    1 * 2 = 2 pints
  • Add the pints from above and the number of original pints:
    72 + 2 + 1 = 75 pints
  • Perform the required division:
    75 ÷ 5 = 15 pints
  • Find the number of whole gallons by dividing by 8:
    15 ÷ 8 = 1 R 7
  • Find the number of whole quarts by dividing the remainder by 2:
    7 ÷ 2 = 3 R 1
  • The remainder of 1 is the number of pints.
  • Answer: 1 gallon 3 quarts and 1 pint
