Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to cubic centimeters is 1000, which means that 1 liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters:

1 L = 1000 cm3

To convert 42 liters into cubic centimeters we have to multiply 42 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to cubic centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 1000 cm3

42 L → V_(cm3)

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

V_(cm3) = 42 L × 1000 cm3

V_(cm3) = 42000 cm3

The final result is:

42 L → 42000 cm3

We conclude that 42 liters is equivalent to 42000 cubic centimeters:

42 liters = 42000 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 2.3809523809524E-5 × 42 liters.

Another way is saying that 42 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3809523809524E-5 cubic centimeters.

Approximate result

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

42 L ≅ 42000 cm3

An alternative is also that one cubic centimeter is approximately zero times forty-two liters.
