Worked examples
Converting 5 cubic centimeters
Multiply 5 by 6.2898108e-06. That gives 0.000031 oil barrels. A quick sanity check: one cubic centimeter is smaller than one oil barrel, so the number should get smaller — and it does.
Converting 72 cubic centimeters
72 × 6.2898108e-06 = 0.000453 oil barrels. Working backwards, 0.000453 ÷ 6.2898108e-06 returns 72 cubic centimeters, which confirms the factor is applied the right way round.
