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 5042 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 5042 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

5042 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 5042 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 5.042 L

The final result is:

5042 cm3 → 5.042 L

We conclude that 5042 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 5.042 liters:

5042 cubic centimeters = 5.042 liters
