  1. Take your measurement in BF and divide it by 1,000 to get MBF. For example, if your measurement is 12,000 BF, you would have 12 MBF.

  2. Multiply your MBF by 2.36 to get the amount in CBM. In this example, 12 MBF equals 28.32 CBM.

  3. Calculate CBM from MBF quickly by multiplying CBM by 0.4238, so 10 CBM is 4.238 MBF.
