Formula

How to convert Milliliters to Liters

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

  1. Take the value in milliliters — for example 7.5 ml.
  2. Multiply by 0.001 (the number of liters in one milliliter).
  3. 7.5 × 0.001 = 0.0075 L.

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