Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic meters to liters is 1000, which means that 1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters:

1 m3 = 1000 L

To convert 997 cubic meters into liters we have to multiply 997 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic meters to liters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m3 → 1000 L

997 m3 → V_(L)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in liters:

V_(L) = 997 m3 × 1000 L

V_(L) = 997000 L

The final result is:

997 m3 → 997000 L

We conclude that 997 cubic meters is equivalent to 997000 liters:

997 cubic meters = 997000 liters

Alternative conversion
