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 488 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 488 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

488 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 488 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.488 L

The final result is:

488 cm3 → 0.488 L

We conclude that 488 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.488 liters:

488 cubic centimeters = 0.488 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 2.0491803278689 × 488 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 488 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.0491803278689 liters.

Approximate result

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

488 cm3 ≅ 0.488 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately two point zero four nine times four hundred eighty-eight cubic centimeters.
