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 472 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 472 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

472 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 472 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.472 m3

The final result is:

472 L → 0.472 m3

We conclude that 472 liters is equivalent to 0.472 cubic meters:

472 liters = 0.472 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 2.1186440677966 × 472 liters.

Another way is saying that 472 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.1186440677966 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

472 L ≅ 0.472 m3

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