Gallon is called the volume unit of measure used in the USA, Great Britain and some other countries. At different times and in different countries its size was equated to unequal values. And now there are several options of the gallons which are separately applied to measurement of loose or liquid substances. Besides, the American and English gallons differ. Liter - other unit of measure of volume. As well as gallon, it is not included in the international SI system, but is mentioned there in quality admissible to use together with SI.

Instruction
1. Define in which gallons the reference value needing transfer to liters is given - the recalculation coefficient depends on it. The English gallon for measurement, for example, of gasoline is equated to 4.546092 liters and sometimes is called "imperial". In the USA one gallon of fuel corresponds to 3.785411784 liters. If the same unit is applied to the volume of bulks, then in both countries it will correspond to 4.405 liters. There is also "proof gallon" in which measure, for example, amount of alcohol. In Great Britain it is equal to 2.594 l, and in the USA - 1.89 l.
2. Use, for example, the Google search engine for converting of gallons in liters - this searcher has the built-in calculator and the converter of sizes. Pass to its homepage, formulate and enter the corresponding search query. For example, for transfer to liters of 100 English gallons gain "100 English gallons". It is not obligatory to mention liters in inquiry, and instead of a word "English" it is possible to use "imperial". The search engine will calculate and will display result of converting: "100 imperial gallons = 454.609188 liters". By default Google considers this unit American therefore if you enter "100 gallons", then receive the result equivalent to 100 gallons of the USA: "100 American gallons = 378.541178 liters".
3. If the reference value is given in any of special options of gallon, then use the same search engine for implementation of the corresponding mathematical operation. For example, if it is required to transfer the 78th proof gallons of the American standard to liters, then you should increase this value by 1.89 times. Enter into the field of a search query 78*1.89 and Google will count and will display result of multiplication: 78 * 1.89 = 147.42. And for calculation of the liter volume of 78 gallons of any bulk the inquiry has to be such: 78*4.405. The reply of Google in this case will look so: 78 * 4.40500 = 343.59.
