Convert Cubic centimetres to US cups
1 cubic centimetre is 0.004227 cup. One cubic centimetre is exactly 0.00422675283773 US cups.
One cubic centimetre is 0.0042267528 US cups. To convert cubic centimetres to US cups, multiply by 0.0042267528; to go the other way, divide by 0.0042267528 or multiply by 236.58824.

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 US cup?
Eight US fluid ounces, about 236.6 ml. The "legal" cup on nutrition labels is a rounded 240 ml.
How many US cups are in a cubic centimetre?
One cubic centimetre is 0.0042267528 US cups. Going the other way, one US cup is 236.58824 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.
