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 505 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 505 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

505 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 505 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.505 m3

The final result is:

505 L → 0.505 m3

We conclude that 505 liters is equivalent to 0.505 cubic meters:

505 liters = 0.505 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 1.980198019802 × 505 liters.

Another way is saying that 505 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.980198019802 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

505 L ≅ 0.505 m3

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