How to Convert Milliliter to Cubic Centimeter
- 1 mL = 1 cm³
- 1 cm³ = 1 mL
- Example: convert 15 mL to cm³: 15 mL = 15 × 1 cm³ = 15 cm³
Formula
cm³ = mL × 1
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 mL = 10⁻³ L = 1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³
- 1 cm³ = (0.01 m)³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL
- 1 mL = 0.000001 m³ ÷ 0.000001 m³ per cm³ = 1 cm³
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Milliliter definition: milliliter; Cubic Centimeter definition: cubic centimeter.
Worked examples
- 1 mL is exactly 1 cm³.
1 mL × 1 = 1 cm³ - A 5 mL syringe holds 5 cm³.
5 mL × 1 = 5 cm³

Frequently asked questions
Is 1 mL the same as 1 cc?
Yes. 1 mL = 1 cm³ = 1 cc exactly, because the litre is defined as one cubic decimetre.
How many cubic centimeters are in 1 milliliter?
1 mL = 1 cm³.
How do I convert milliliters to cubic centimeters?
Multiply the value in mL by 1. For example, 15 mL × 1 = 15 cm³.
Is the mL to cm³ conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, and 1 mL is exactly 1 cm³.
