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 38 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 38 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

38 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 38 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.038 m3

The final result is:

38 L → 0.038 m3

We conclude that 38 liters is equivalent to 0.038 cubic meters:

38 liters = 0.038 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 26.315789473684 × 38 liters.

Another way is saying that 38 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 26.315789473684 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

38 L ≅ 0.038 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately twenty-six point three one six times thirty-eight liters.
