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 490 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 490 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

490 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 490 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.49 m3

The final result is:

490 L → 0.49 m3

We conclude that 490 liters is equivalent to 0.49 cubic meters:

490 liters = 0.49 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 2.0408163265306 × 490 liters.

Another way is saying that 490 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.0408163265306 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

490 L ≅ 0.49 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately two point zero four one times four hundred ninety liters.
