\nTo convert from cm$^2$ to m$^2$ we divide by $100^2$
\nTo convert from mm$^2$ to m$^2$ we divide by $1000^2$

\n\n1 litre is 1000cm$^3$. Therefore:
\nTo convert from litres we can multiply by 1000 at the start, then convert from cm$^3$.
\nTo convert to litres we can convert to cm$^3$, then divide by 1000 at the end.
