\n" );
document.write( "Think the problem people have is that many calculators only convert Liters to cm^3. 
\n" );
document.write( "As 1ml = 1cm^3, one can use those calculators for ml conversions as well.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "As to a Liter relating to cm^3 or mm^3 ... which You may encounter.
\n" );
document.write( "1 Liter = 1000 cm^3 by definition of a Liter (noting again 1ml = 1cm^3)
\n" );
document.write( "for ex.  
\n" );
document.write( "2000. cm^3/1000 = 2L  Note: can be found by moving deciaml point 'back' 3\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "1cm = 10mm, which is to say: each cm^3 = 1000mm^3
\n" );
document.write( "which in turn says: 1 Liter = 1,000,000 mm^3
\n" );
document.write( "Example: 
\n" );
document.write( " 2000mm^3/1,000,000 = .002L  
\n" );
document.write( "Note: Conversion using this division Can be found by moving decimal point 'back'6 ..
\n" );
document.write( "  2000. mm^3  'decimal point' back six places gives us the   .002L
\n" );
document.write( "  254mm^3 = .000254 L
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "
