How to Convert Cubic Meters to Cups

To convert a measurement in cubic meters to a measurement in cups, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 4,226.752838 cups/cubic meter.

Since one cubic meter is equal to 4,226.752838 cups, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = cubic meters × 4,226.752838

The volume in cups is equal to the volume in cubic meters multiplied by 4,226.752838.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic meters to cups using the formula above.

cups = (5 m³ × 4,226.752838) = 21,133.76419 c

What Is a Cubic Meter?

One cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with each edge measuring one meter.

The cubic meter, or cubic metre, is the SI derived unit for volume in the metric system. Cubic meters can be abbreviated as m³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu m, CBM, cbm, or MTQ. For example, 1 cubic meter can be written as 1 m³, 1 cu m, 1 CBM, 1 cbm, or 1 MTQ.

What Is a Cup?

The cup is a unit of volume equal to 16 tablespoons or 8 fluid ounces. The cup should not be confused with the metric cup or the teacup, which are different units of volume.

One standard cup is equal to 236.588 milliliters, but for nutrition labeling, one cup is defined as 240 milliliters.^[1] To further confuse things, a metric cup is equal to 250 mL, while in Japan, a cup is equivalent to only 200 mL.

The cup is a US customary unit of volume. Cups can be abbreviated as c, and are also sometimes abbreviated as C. For example, 1 cup can be written as 1 c or 1 C.
