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 272 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 272 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

272 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 272 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.272 m3

The final result is:

272 L → 0.272 m3

We conclude that 272 liters is equivalent to 0.272 cubic meters:

272 liters = 0.272 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 3.6764705882353 × 272 liters.

Another way is saying that 272 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.6764705882353 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

272 L ≅ 0.272 m3

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