The dm3 just means liters so to get from literes3 to cm3 multiply by 1000

Wouldn't you divide by 1000, not multiply, as you are talking about converting
Unparseable latex formula:

dm^-^3

to
Unparseable latex formula:

cm^-^3

? If you have 3000 moles per decimeter cubed then surely there would be 3 moles per centimeter cubed, not 3,000,000. I expect this is what was meant, but it could easily be misinterpreted.

As a side note you should really know how it works in case you forget what to do. 10cm=1dm. 10310^3=1000. 131^3=1. Therefore 1000cm3=1dm31000cm^3=1dm^3.
Divide by 1000, as harr said, seeing as the dm3dm^3 and cm3cm^3 are the divisors. But yes, to change a volume of one dm3dm^3 into cm3cm^3, you must multiply by 1000.
