Why the distinction matters
cubic centimetre and US cup belong to measurement conventions that may look familiar but are not always equivalent across countries. Mendeleev.com therefore keeps the system name next to the abbreviation and calculates from defined conversion factors rather than rounded kitchen rules.
Example
1 cm³ = 0.00422675283773 US cup · 10 cm³ = 0.0422675283773 US cup.
Result in US cups
1.001805 US cup
What the conversion means
A cubic centimetre is exactly the same volume as a millilitre: 1 cm³ = 1 mL. A US customary cup is exactly 236.5882365 mL. Dividing the volume in cm³ by 236.5882365 therefore gives US cups.
Recipe-sized example
237 cm³ is 237 mL, which is about 1.002 US cups. For ordinary cooking that is effectively one US cup; for laboratory or formulation work, keep extra digits until the final rounding step.
Smaller volume
60 cm³ × 0.00422675284 ≈ 0.254 US cup, just over one quarter of a US cup.
US cup is not the same as an Imperial cup
The US customary cup is about 236.59 mL. The traditional Imperial cup is 284.13 mL. A recipe that simply says “cup” can therefore be ambiguous; use the measurement system stated by the source.
Useful shortcut: because 1 cm³ = 1 mL, you can first read the value as the same number of millilitres.
