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 542 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 542 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

542 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 542 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.542 m3

The final result is:

542 L → 0.542 m3

We conclude that 542 liters is equivalent to 0.542 cubic meters:

542 liters = 0.542 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 1.8450184501845 × 542 liters.

Another way is saying that 542 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.8450184501845 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

542 L ≅ 0.542 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately one point eight four five times five hundred forty-two liters.
