Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to liters is 0.001, which means that 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.001 liters:

1 cm3 = 0.001 L

To convert 1000 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 1000 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic centimeters to liters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm3 → 0.001 L

1000 cm3 → V_(L)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in liters:

V_(L) = 1000 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 1 L

The final result is:

1000 cm3 → 1 L

We conclude that 1000 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 1 liters:

1000 cubic centimeters = 1 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 1 × 1000 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1000 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1 liters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand cubic centimeters is approximately one liters:

1000 cm3 ≅ 1 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately one times one thousand cubic centimeters.
