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 997.9 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 997.9 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

997.9 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 997.9 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.9979 m3

The final result is:

997.9 L → 0.9979 m3

We conclude that 997.9 liters is equivalent to 0.9979 cubic meters:

997.9 liters = 0.9979 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 1.0021044192805 × 997.9 liters.

Another way is saying that 997.9 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0021044192805 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 nine liters is approximately zero point nine nine eight cubic meters:

997.9 L ≅ 0.998 m3

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