Conversion Formula
The formula to convert cubic centimeters (cc) to liters is:
Liters = Cubic Centimeters ÷ 1000
This works because one liter is exactly equal to 1000 cubic centimeters. So dividing the volume in cc by 1000 scales it down to liters. For example, if you have 500 cc:
- Take 500 cc
- Divide by 1000: 500 ÷ 1000 = 0.5
- The result is 0.5 liters
This simple division converts small volume units into larger liter units.
Conversion Example
- Example: Convert 750 cc to liters
- Start with 750 cubic centimeters
- Divide 750 by 1000: 750 ÷ 1000 = 0.75
- The volume is 0.75 liters
- Example: Convert 1200 cc to liters
- Take 1200 cc
- Divide 1200 by 1000: 1200 ÷ 1000 = 1.2
- The result is 1.2 liters
- Example: Convert 350 cc to liters
- Use 350 cubic centimeters
- Divide 350 by 1000: 350 ÷ 1000 = 0.35
- The output is 0.35 liters
- Example: Convert 999 cc to liters
- Start with 999 cc
- Divide 999 by 1000: 999 ÷ 1000 = 0.999
- So, 0.999 liters

Conversion Definitions
cc: Cubic centimeter, often called cc, is a unit of volume that measures the space occupied by a cube with each side of one centimeter length. It’s used in medicine, engines, and science to quantify small amounts of liquids or gases.
liter: A liter is a metric unit of volume equal to 1000 cubic centimeters. It is widely used for measuring liquids in everyday life, such as water, milk, or fuel. One liter equals the volume of a cube that’s 10 centimeters on each side.
Conversion FAQs
Is 500 cc the same as 0.5 liters?
Yes, 500 cc equals 0.5 liters because one liter contains 1000 cubic centimeters. Dividing 500 by 1000 gives 0.5, so half a liter is the same volume as 500 cc.
Why do I divide by 1000 to convert cc to liters?
Because 1 liter equals exactly 1000 cubic centimeters, dividing the cc value by 1000 scales the volume down to liters. This conversion factor comes from the metric system’s base units.
Can I convert liters to cc using the same formula?
To convert liters back to cc, you multiply the liter value by 1000, reversing the division process. For example, 0.5 liters times 1000 equals 500 cc.
Are cc and ml the same unit?
Yes, cubic centimeters (cc) and milliliters (ml) are equal in volume. Both represent the same amount of space, so 500 cc is also 500 ml.
Does temperature affect cc to liter conversion?
The conversion between cc and liters is a direct volume relationship and does not depend on temperature. However, the volume of substances might expand or contract with temperature, but the unit conversion remains constant.
