In this article I will show you how to convert 860 litres into cubic meters. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 860 l to m³. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Litres to Cubic meters
A litre is smaller than a cubic meter. I know that a l is smaller than a m³ because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 860 litres into cubic meters, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for l to m³ is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 860 l to m³ by multiplying 0.001 by the number of litres we have, which is 860.
So, the answer to the question "what is 860 litres in cubic meters?" is 0.86 m³.
