Conversion formula
The conversion factor from liters to cubic meters is 0.001, which means that 1 liter is equal to 0.001 cubic meters:
1 L = 0.001 m3
To convert 1000 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 1000 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 L → 0.001 m3
1000 L → V(m3)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic meters:
V(m3) = 1000 L × 0.001 m3
V(m3) = 1 m3
The final result is:
1000 L → 1 m3
We conclude that 1000 liters is equivalent to 1 cubic meters:
1000 liters = 1 cubic meters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic meter is equal to 1 × 1000 liters.
Another way is saying that 1000 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1 cubic meters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand liters is approximately one cubic meters:
1000 L ≅ 1 m3
An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately one times one thousand liters.
