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 742 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 742 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

742 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 742 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.742 m3

The final result is:

742 L → 0.742 m3

We conclude that 742 liters is equivalent to 0.742 cubic meters:

742 liters = 0.742 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 1.3477088948787 × 742 liters.

Another way is saying that 742 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.3477088948787 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

742 L ≅ 0.742 m3

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