1L= 1dm^3
1cm^3= 1ml
There are 1000 ml in 1L, or a 1000 cm^3 in 1 dm^3.
595 cm^3 / 1000 = 0.595 L
Just remember the m in ml stands for milli (1000) when it is a small m that means it is 1000th, so 1000th of a litre. (If it was a large M it would stand for mega and would indicate 1000x, e.g megabites).
Or if you prefer.
c- stands for centi (100th), d- stands for deci (10th) 1 in 10 difference but as it is cubed 10 x 10 x 10 (1000 x smaller)

1dm^3 = 1L
If we imagine a cube of water with sides 1cm its volume is 1^3=1cm^3 of water.
As 1cm=0.1dm the cube now has sides 0.1dm. To find the volume in dm^3 we do 0.1^3 = 10^-3
so 1cm^3 = 10^-3dm^3 = 10^-3L
but since we have 595cm^3 we have 595 x 10^-3 L perhaps better written as 0.595L

1000 cm^3 =1 liter
so 595 cm^3 = .595 liters

Divide by 1000. The answer is 0.595 litres. (By the way, it's 'negligible' not 'neglegable'.)

one milliter = I cubic centimeters
so it is 0.595 liters
