How many unit multipliers, not need to know before converting; just know the right ones to use.

Cubic Feet means FOOT%2AFOOT%2AFOOT, or in abbreviated form, ft%2Aft%2Aft;
you can also show as ft%5E3.

45%2Aft%5E3%2A%2812%2F1%29%5E3%28inch%2Fft%29%5E3%2A%282.54%2F1%29%5E3%28cm%2Finch%29%5E3
Examine the units of the arrangement very carefully. What IS the unit?

45%2A12%5E3%2A2.54%5E3%2Acm%5E3

1274258.09664%2Acm%5E3------(too many figures)

highlight%281.27%2A10%5E6%2Acm%5E3%29, for slightly greater than proper accuracy according to given value.
