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 420 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 420 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

420 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 420 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.42 m3

The final result is:

420 L → 0.42 m3

We conclude that 420 liters is equivalent to 0.42 cubic meters:

420 liters = 0.42 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 2.3809523809524 × 420 liters.

Another way is saying that 420 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3809523809524 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

420 L ≅ 0.42 m3

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