1 L = 1,000 cm³

Show the working
  1. 1 L = 1000 cm³
  2. 1 × 1000 = 1000 cm³

How to convert liters to cubic centimeters

1 L = 1,000 cm³, so multiply by 1,000 to go from liters to cubic centimeters. Going the other way, 1 cm³ = 0.001 L.

cm³ = L × 1,000
L = cm³ × 0.001

Worked example:

1 L = 1000 cm³
5 × 1000 = 5000 cm³
