I get it all when it's explained. Ask me again, tomorrow, with different dimensions and I'd probably be crying for help again. My brain just seizes up when it comes to math.
It didn't help that, as I was talking to my father (a school teacher for YEARS), and I said, "so then you divide the cubic feet by 0.134 to get the number of gallons", he said, "No! You multiply!". Then, when I say, "That doesn't seem like nearly enough water!" he says, "You divide it."
