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 397.4 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 397.4 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

397.4 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 397.4 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.3974 m3

The final result is:

397.4 L → 0.3974 m3

We conclude that 397.4 liters is equivalent to 0.3974 cubic meters:

397.4 liters = 0.3974 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 2.5163563160544 × 397.4 liters.

Another way is saying that 397.4 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.5163563160544 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

397.4 L ≅ 0.397 m3

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