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 5170 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 5170 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

5170 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 5170 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 5.17 L

The final result is:

5170 cm3 → 5.17 L

We conclude that 5170 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 5.17 liters:

5170 cubic centimeters = 5.17 liters
