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 1278 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 1278 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

1278 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 1278 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 1.278 L

The final result is:

1278 cm3 → 1.278 L

We conclude that 1278 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 1.278 liters:

1278 cubic centimeters = 1.278 liters
