Pints to Gallons formula
Converting pints to gallons is a single multiplication by 0.125.
gal = pt × 0.125
Put another way, one pint is exactly 1/8 of a gallon.
Why this factor: the pint and the gallon are both defined against the liter, so dividing one definition by the other gives 0.125 directly. Both definitions are set out in full below.
To go the other way, divide by 0.125 — or use the Gallons to Pints converter, which is the same calculation reversed.
Worked example
Start with 2 pt. Multiply by 0.125 to get 0.25 gal.
2 pt × 0.125 = 0.25 gal
The converter above does this for any value you type, in either direction.

A US liquid pint is half a quart, or two cups.
Definition: Exactly one eighth of a US liquid gallon, so exactly 0.473176473 liter.
Where it is used: Beer, cream, berries and ice cream in the US.
Worth knowing: The imperial pint is 568.26 mL — noticeably larger than the US pint's 473 mL, which is why a UK pint of beer is a bigger drink.

Worth knowing: The imperial gallon used in the UK and Canada is about 20% larger, at 4.54609 L — so 'miles per gallon' figures are not comparable between the two.
