Cubic Centimeters to Pints formula
Converting cubic centimeters to pints is a single multiplication by 0.00211337642.
pt = cm³ × 0.00211337642
Why this factor: the cubic centimeter and the pint are both defined against the liter, so dividing one definition by the other gives 0.00211337642 directly. Both definitions are set out in full below.
To go the other way, divide by 0.00211337642 — or use the Pints to Cubic Centimeters converter, which is the same calculation reversed.
Worked example

8 cm³ × 0.00211337642 = 0.016907 pt
The converter above does this for any value you type, in either direction.
What is a cubic centimeter?
A cubic centimeter is the volume of a one-centimeter cube, identical to a milliliter.
Definition: Exactly 1×10⁻⁶ cubic meter, which is exactly 1 mL.
Where it is used: Engine displacement on motorcycles and small engines, and medical volumes where it is written 'cc'.
What is a pint?
A US liquid pint is half a quart, or two cups.
Definition: Exactly one eighth of a US liquid gallon, so exactly 0.473176473 liter.
Where it is used: Beer, cream, berries and ice cream in the US.
Worth knowing: The imperial pint is 568.26 mL — noticeably larger than the US pint's 473 mL, which is why a UK pint of beer is a bigger drink.
Cubic Centimeters vs Pints
The cubic centimeter is a metric unit while the pint is a US customary unit. That is why the factor between them is not a round number: the two systems were defined independently and only later tied together by exact agreement.
