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 587 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 587 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

587 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 587 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.587 L

The final result is:

587 cm3 → 0.587 L

We conclude that 587 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.587 liters:

587 cubic centimeters = 0.587 liters

Alternative conversion
