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 509 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 509 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

509 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 509 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.509 m3

The final result is:

509 L → 0.509 m3

We conclude that 509 liters is equivalent to 0.509 cubic meters:

509 liters = 0.509 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 1.9646365422397 × 509 liters.

Another way is saying that 509 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.9646365422397 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

509 L ≅ 0.509 m3

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