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 1997 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 1997 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

1997 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 1997 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 1.997 m3

The final result is:

1997 L → 1.997 m3

We conclude that 1997 liters is equivalent to 1.997 cubic meters:

1997 liters = 1.997 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 0.50075112669004 × 1997 liters.

Another way is saying that 1997 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.50075112669004 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

1997 L ≅ 1.997 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately zero point five zero one times one thousand nine hundred ninety-seven liters.
