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 488.8 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 488.8 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

488.8 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 488.8 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.4888 m3

The final result is:

488.8 L → 0.4888 m3

We conclude that 488.8 liters is equivalent to 0.4888 cubic meters:

488.8 liters = 0.4888 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 2.0458265139116 × 488.8 liters.

Another way is saying that 488.8 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.0458265139116 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

488.8 L ≅ 0.489 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately two point zero four six times four hundred eighty-eight point eight liters.
