I assume, the area #S=233pi# is given, not circumference.
Then
#V~~4742.12pi#

In terms of given circumference #C#,
#V=C/(6pi^2)#

Explanation:

The formula for volume of a sphere of a radius #R# is
#V=4/3piR^3#

The formula for area of a sphere of the same radius is
#S=4piR^2#

Given the surface area, we can find a radius from the last formula:
#R=sqrt(S/(4pi))= sqrt((233pi)/pi)=sqrt(233)#

Now we can fund volume:
#V=4/3piR^3=4/3pi(sqrt(233))^3~~4742.12pi#

If, instead of an area, circumference of the equator (the largest circle on a surface of a sphere) is given, the calculations are:
#C=2piR#
#R=C/(2pi)#
#V=4/3piR^3=4/3pi(C/(2pi))^3=4/3piC^3/(8pi^3)=C^3/(6pi^2)#
