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 242 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 242 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

242 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 242 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.242 m3

The final result is:

242 L → 0.242 m3

We conclude that 242 liters is equivalent to 0.242 cubic meters:

242 liters = 0.242 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 4.1322314049587 × 242 liters.

Another way is saying that 242 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 4.1322314049587 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

242 L ≅ 0.242 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately four point one three two times two hundred forty-two liters.
