About Liter
The liter is a metric unit equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³). Science, global food labeling, and most countries’ everyday volumes use liters.
About Cubic Feet
The cubic feet is the volume of a cube one feet on a side (about 28.3168 liters). HVAC, construction, and US freight sometimes use cubic feet.
How to convert liters to cubic feet
1 liter is equal to 0.03531466672149 cubic feet:
1 l = (1 L ÷ 28.316846592 L) ft3 = 0.03531466672149 ft3
Each liter is defined as 1 L and each cubic feet as 28.316846592 L, so one l equals 1 ÷ 28.316846592 ft3 = 0.03531466672149 ft3.
Let V(l) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Liter (l), and V(ft3) the value in Cubic Feet (ft3). Then:
V(ft3) = V(l) × (1 / 28.316846592)
Equivalently, divide by how many l fit into one ft3 (liters per ft3 divided by liters per l):
V(ft3) = V(l) ÷ 28.316846592
Or: cubic feet = liter ÷ 28.316846592
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 l to cubic feet
20 l = 20 l × (1/28.316846592) ft3 = 0.7062933344 ft3
20 l = 20 l ÷ 28.316846592 = 0.7062933344 ft3
Example #2: Convert 50 l to cubic feet
50 l = 50 l × (1/28.316846592) ft3 = 1.7657333361 ft3
50 l = 50 l ÷ 28.316846592 = 1.7657333361 ft3
Summary
To convert Liter to Cubic Feet, multiply the value in l by the ratio of liters per l divided by liters per ft3. Equivalently: value_ft3 = value_l × (1 / 28.316846592). Numerically, 1 l equals 0.035314666721488586 ft3.
Relationship context
You are converting between metric (SI) (Liters) and US customary fluid / volume (Cubic Feet). US and UK fluid measures differ (gallons, ounces, tablespoons); metric liters and cubic meters align with SI. The numeric factor used here is 3.531467e-2.
