Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic meters to cubic centimeters is 1000000, which means that 1 cubic meter is equal to 1000000 cubic centimeters:

1 m3 = 1000000 cm3

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

1 m3 → 1000000 cm3

1000 m3 → V_(cm3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic centimeters:

V_(cm3) = 1000 m3 × 1000000 cm3

V_(cm3) = 1000000000 cm3

The final result is:

1000 m3 → 1000000000 cm3

We conclude that 1000 cubic meters is equivalent to 1000000000 cubic centimeters:

1000 cubic meters = 1000000000 cubic centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 1.0E-9 × 1000 cubic meters.

Another way is saying that 1000 cubic meters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0E-9 cubic centimeters.

Approximate result

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

1000 m3 ≅ 1000000000 cm3

An alternative is also that one cubic centimeter is approximately zero times one thousand cubic meters.
