You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
