    The conversion between the prefix units are as follows: 1000 mm 3 = 1 cm 3, 1000 cm 3 = 1 dm 3, and 1000 dm 3 = 1 m 3. [1] The metric system also includes the litre (L) as a unit of volume, where 1 L = 1 dm 3 = 1000 cm 3 = 0.001 m 3. [18]: 145 For the litre unit, the commonly used prefixes are the millilitre (mL), centilitre (cL), and the litre ...

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity.

  7. System of units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_units_of_measurement

    Multiples and submultiples of metric units are related by powers of ten and their names are formed with prefixes. This relationship is compatible with the decimal system of numbers and it contributes greatly to the convenience of metric units. In the early metric system there were two base units, the metre for length and the gram for mass. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    The conversion between different SI units for one and the same physical quantity is always through a power of ten. This is why the SI (and metric systems more generally) are called decimal systems of measurement units. [10] The grouping formed by a prefix symbol attached to a unit symbol (e.g. ' km ', ' cm ') constitutes a new inseparable unit ...
