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 500 liters into cubic centimeters we have to multiply 500 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

500 L → V_(cm3)

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

V_(cm3) = 500 L × 1000 cm3

V_(cm3) = 500000 cm3

The final result is:

500 L → 500000 cm3

We conclude that 500 liters is equivalent to 500000 cubic centimeters:

500 liters = 500000 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 2.0E-6 × 500 liters.

Another way is saying that 500 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.0E-6 cubic centimeters.

Approximate result

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

500 L ≅ 500000 cm3

An alternative is also that one cubic centimeter is approximately zero times five hundred liters.
