Conversion formula

The conversion factor from cubic centimeters to cubic meters is 1.0E-6, which means that 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 1.0E-6 cubic meters:

1 cm3 = 1.0E-6 m3

To convert 500 cubic centimeters into cubic meters we have to multiply 500 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic centimeters to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm3 → 1.0E-6 m3

500 cm3 → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 500 cm3 × 1.0E-6 m3

V_(m3) = 0.0005 m3

The final result is:

500 cm3 → 0.0005 m3

We conclude that 500 cubic centimeters is equivalent to 0.0005 cubic meters:

500 cubic centimeters = 0.0005 cubic meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic meter is equal to 2000 × 500 cubic centimeters.

Another way is saying that 500 cubic centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 2000 cubic meters.

Approximate result

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

500 cm3 ≅ 0.001 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately two thousand times five hundred cubic centimeters.
