How many cubic feet are in one cubic meter?

Exactly 35.314666… ft³. This tool uses 35.3147 (rounded to 4 decimal places) which is accurate to within 0.001% for any practical volume.

How do I convert m³ to ft³ manually?

Multiply the cubic meter value by 35.3147. For example, 2 m³ × 35.3147 = 70.6294 ft³.

Can I convert cubic feet back to cubic meters?

Yes. Type in the cubic feet field (or use the Swap button) and the tool divides by 35.3147 to give cubic meters.

Why is the conversion factor not a round number?

One meter is approximately 3.28084 feet because one foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. Cubing 1 ÷ 0.3048 gives approximately 35.3147 ft³ per m³.

Is cubic meter the same as cubic decimeter or liter?

No. 1 m³ = 1,000 liters = 1,000 cubic decimeters. Cubic feet is a separate unit; 1 ft³ ≈ 28.317 liters.
