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 997.4 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 997.4 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

997.4 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 997.4 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.9974 m3

The final result is:

997.4 L → 0.9974 m3

We conclude that 997.4 liters is equivalent to 0.9974 cubic meters:

997.4 liters = 0.9974 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 1.0026067776218 × 997.4 liters.

Another way is saying that 997.4 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0026067776218 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

997.4 L ≅ 0.997 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately one point zero zero three times nine hundred ninety-seven point four liters.
