A gallon is equal to 8 pints.
This conversion can be understood by breaking it down: a gallon consists of 4 quarts, and each quart contains 2 pints. So, when you multiply the number of quarts in a gallon by the number of pints in a quart (4 quarts x 2 pints/quart), you arrive at the total of 8 pints in a gallon. This simple multiplication shows how gallons, quarts, and pints relate to each other in terms of volume measurement.
