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 16 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 16 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

16 L → V_(m3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic meters:

V_(m3) = 16 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.016 m3

The final result is:

16 L → 0.016 m3

We conclude that 16 liters is equivalent to 0.016 cubic meters:

16 liters = 0.016 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 62.5 × 16 liters.

Another way is saying that 16 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 62.5 cubic meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixteen liters is approximately zero point zero one six cubic meters:

16 L ≅ 0.016 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately sixty-two point five times sixteen liters.
