Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to cubic meters is 1.0E-6, which means that 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 1.0E-6 cubic meters:

1 cm3 = 1.0E-6 m3

To convert 1242 cubic centimeters into cubic meters we have to multiply 1242 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic centimeters to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm3 → 1.0E-6 m3

1242 cm3 → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 1242 cm3 × 1.0E-6 m3

V_(m3) = 0.001242 m3

The final result is:

1242 cm3 → 0.001242 m3

We conclude that 1242 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.001242 cubic meters:

1242 cubic centimeters = 0.001242 cubic meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic meter is equal to 805.15297906602 × 1242 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1242 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 805.15297906602 cubic meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred forty-two cubic centimeters is approximately zero point zero zero one cubic meters:

1242 cm3 ≅ 0.001 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately eight hundred five point one five three times one thousand two hundred forty-two cubic centimeters.
