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 400 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 400 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

400 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 400 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.4 L

The final result is:

400 cm3 → 0.4 L

We conclude that 400 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.4 liters:

400 cubic centimeters = 0.4 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 2.5 × 400 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 400 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.5 liters.

Approximate result

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

400 cm3 ≅ 0.4 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately two point five times four hundred cubic centimeters.
