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 987 cubic centimeters into liters we have to multiply 987 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

987 cm3 → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 987 cm3 × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.987 L

The final result is:

987 cm3 → 0.987 L

We conclude that 987 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.987 liters:

987 cubic centimeters = 0.987 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 1.0131712259372 × 987 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 987 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0131712259372 liters.

Approximate result

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

987 cm3 ≅ 0.987 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately one point zero one three times nine hundred eighty-seven cubic centimeters.
