We want to convert cubic inches to cubic meters. We need to convert inches to some in between unit then into meters to create 6 unit multipliers. One option is inches to feet and feet to meters.
500
3 feet ~ 1 meter
(500/1728) * (1m / 3ft) * (1m / 3ft) * (1m / 3 ft) = (500/46656)
So, we have converted from cubic inches to cubic meters using 6 unit multipliers.
We end up with ~0.0107
