Convert Cubic metres to Cubic centimetres
1 cubic metre is 1,000,000 cm³. One cubic metre is exactly 1000000 cubic centimetres.
One cubic metre is 1000000 cubic centimetres. To convert cubic metres to cubic centimetres, multiply by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by 1000000 or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Handbook 130. Exactly a thousand litres, by the definition of the litre.

How do you convert cubic metres to cubic centimetres? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in cubic metres.
- 2.Multiply by 1000000 — that is how many cubic centimetres fit in one cubic metre.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 1000000, or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-6.
Worked example: 25 cubic metres to cubic centimetres
- Formula
- m³ × 1000000 = cm³
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 1000000 = 25,000,000 cm³
- Answer
- 25 m³ = 25,000,000 cm³
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

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.
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.
How many cubic centimetres are in a cubic metre?
One cubic metre is 1000000 cubic centimetres, exactly. Going the other way, one cubic centimetre is 1.0000 × 10^-6 cubic metres. 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 metre.
