Formula

How to convert Liters to Milliliters

To convert liters to milliliters, multiply by 1,000. One liter equals 1,000 ml, and one milliliter equals 0.001 L.

  1. Take the value in liters — for example 7.5 L.
  2. Multiply by 1,000 (the number of milliliters in one liter).
  3. 7.5 × 1,000 = 7,500 ml.

Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 3 places to the right.
