Liters to cubic meters Conversion
1 liters (liter) is equal to 0.001 cubic meters (m³).
1 liter = 0.001 m³
or
1 m³ = 1000 liter
Formula
To convert a volume from liters (liter) to cubic meters (m³), divide the volume in liters by 1000
v(m³) = v(liter) / 1000
Examples:
Convert 1 liters to cubic meters:
v(m³) = 1liter / 1000 = 0.001 m³
