Convert Cubic centimetres to Cubic metres
1 cubic centimetre is 0.000001 m³. One cubic centimetre is exactly 0.000001 cubic metres.
One cubic centimetre is 1.0000 × 10^-6 cubic metres. To convert cubic centimetres to cubic metres, multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6; to go the other way, divide by 1.0000 × 10^-6 or multiply by 1000000. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 130. A thousandth of a litre, which makes it exactly a millilitre — the same volume under two names.

How do you convert cubic centimetres to cubic metres? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in cubic centimetres.
- 2.Multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6 — that is how many cubic metres fit in one cubic centimetre.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 1.0000 × 10^-6, or multiply by 1000000.
Worked example: 25 cubic centimetres to cubic metres
- Formula
- cm³ × 1.0000 × 10^-6 = m³
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 1.0000 × 10^-6 = 0.000025 m³
- Answer
- 25 cm³ = 0.000025 m³
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a cubic centimetre?
A thousandth of a litre, which makes it exactly a millilitre — the same volume under two names. Engine displacement uses cc and medicine uses ml for the identical quantity.
What is a cubic metre?
Exactly a thousand litres, by the definition of the litre. The SI unit of volume, and how the rest of the world orders concrete.
How many cubic metres are in a cubic centimetre?
One cubic centimetre is 1.0000 × 10^-6 cubic metres. Going the other way, one cubic metre is 1000000 cubic centimetres. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a cubic centimetre.
