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 501 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 501 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

501 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 501 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.501 m3

The final result is:

501 L → 0.501 m3

We conclude that 501 liters is equivalent to 0.501 cubic meters:

501 liters = 0.501 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 1.9960079840319 × 501 liters.

Another way is saying that 501 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9960079840319 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

501 L ≅ 0.501 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately one point nine nine six times five hundred one liters.
