How the conversion works
Multiply by 0.4719474432 to go from cubic foot per minute to liter per second, or divide by it to go back. Every conversion on this site routes through the SI value (m³/s) rather than a table of pairwise factors, so a round-trip returns exactly what you started with.
Going the other way? liter per second to cubic foot per minute — 1 L/s = 2.118880003 cfm.
