How to Convert Cups to Cubic Centimeters

To convert a measurement in cups to a measurement in cubic centimeters, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 236.588236 cubic centimeters/cup.

Since one cup is equal to 236.588236 cubic centimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cubic centimeters = cups × 236.588236

The volume in cubic centimeters is equal to the volume in cups multiplied by 236.588236.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cups to cubic centimeters using the formula above.

cubic centimeters = (5 c × 236.588236) = 1,182.941182 cm³

How Many Cubic Centimeters Are in a Cup?

There are 236.588236 cubic centimeters in a cup, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 c = 236.588236 cm³

Cups and cubic centimeters are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Cup?

The cup is a unit of volume equal to 16 tablespoons or 8 fluid ounces. The cup should not be confused with the metric cup or the teacup, which are different units of volume.

One standard cup is equal to 236.588 milliliters, but for nutrition labeling, one cup is defined as 240 milliliters.^[1] To further confuse things, a metric cup is equal to 250 mL, while in Japan, a cup is equivalent to only 200 mL.

The cup is a US customary unit of volume. Cups can be abbreviated as c, and are also sometimes abbreviated as C. For example, 1 cup can be written as 1 c or 1 C.

What Is a Cubic Centimeter?

The cubic centimeter is a unit that is equal to the volume of a cube with one centimeter sides. One cubic centimeter is equal to about 0.061 cubic inches.^[2]

The cubic centimeter, or cubic centimetre, is a multiple of the cubic meter, which is the SI derived unit for volume. In the metric system, "centi" is the prefix for hundredths, or 10^-2. Cubic centimeters can be abbreviated as cm³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu cm, cc, or ccm. For example, 1 cubic centimeter can be written as 1 cm³, 1 cu cm, 1 cc, or 1 ccm.
