How to Convert Liters to Cubic Meters
To convert liters to cubic meters, divide the value by 1000.
The Formula
Cubic Meters = Liters ÷ 1000
Key Fact
1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
Tip: To convert cubic meters back to liters, multiply by 1000.
Liters to Cubic Meters
Convert liters (L) to cubic meters (m³) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
L
m³
1 L = 0.001 m³
Full precision:0.001 m³
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 liters to cubic meters, we divide by 1000 because one cubic meter equals exactly 1000 liters.
1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
Since there are 1000 liters in every cubic meter, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 cubic meters
So 1 liters = 0.001 cubic meters.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 liters
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 L = 0.001 m³
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 L = 0.005 m³
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 L = 0.01 m³
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
