How to Convert Milliliters to Cubic Centimeters

To convert a measurement in milliliters to a measurement in cubic centimeters, divide the volume by the following conversion ratio: 1 milliliters/cubic centimeter.

Since one cubic centimeter is equal to 1 milliliter, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cubic centimeters = milliliters ÷ 1

The volume in cubic centimeters is equal to the volume in milliliters divided by 1.

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

cubic centimeters = (5 mL ÷ 1) = 5 cm³

How Many Cubic Centimeters Are in a Milliliter?

There are 1 cubic centimeter in a milliliter, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 mL = 1 cm³

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

What Is a Milliliter?

The milliliter is a unit of volume equal to 1 cubic centimeter, 1/1,000 of a liter, or about 0.061 cubic inches.[1]

The milliliter is an SI unit of volume in the metric system. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. A milliliter is sometimes also referred to as a millilitre. Milliliters can be abbreviated as mL, and are also sometimes abbreviated as ml or mℓ. For example, 1 milliliter can be written as 1 mL, 1 ml, or 1 mℓ.

Since one milliliter is equivalent to one cubic centimeter, milliliters are sometimes expressed using the abbreviation for a cubic centimeter (cc) for things such as medical dosages or engine displacements.

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.[1]

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.
