1 m³ = 1,000 L

Show the working
  1. 1 m³ = 1000 L
  2. 1 × 1000 = 1000 L

How to convert cubic meters to liters

1 m³ = 1,000 L, so multiply by 1,000 to go from cubic meters to liters. Going the other way, 1 L = 0.001 m³.

L = m³ × 1,000
m³ = L × 0.001

Worked example:

1 m³ = 1000 L
5 × 1000 = 5000 L
