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 173 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 173 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

173 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 173 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.173 m3

The final result is:

173 L → 0.173 m3

We conclude that 173 liters is equivalent to 0.173 cubic meters:

173 liters = 0.173 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 5.7803468208092 × 173 liters.

Another way is saying that 173 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 5.7803468208092 cubic meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred seventy-three liters is approximately zero point one seven three cubic meters:

173 L ≅ 0.173 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately five point seven eight times one hundred seventy-three liters.
