How many Mt St Helen eruptions would it take to equal the largest Yellowstone eruption?

The largest eruption of Yellowstone, known as the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff eruption, occurred about 2.1 million years ago and expelled approximately 2,500 cubic kilometers of material. In contrast, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens produced about 1 cubic kilometer of material. Therefore, it would take roughly 2,500 Mount St. Helens eruptions to equal the volume of the largest Yellowstone eruption.
