How to convert liters to milliliters (l to ml)
The formula for converting liters to milliliters is: ml = l × 1000. To calculate the liter value in milliliters first substitute the liter value into the preceding formula, and then perform the calculation. If we wanted to calculate 1 liter in milliliters we follow these steps:
ml = l × 1000
m1 = l × 1000
ml = 1000
In other words, 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
Example Conversion
Let's take a look at an example. The step-by-step process to convert 4 liters to milliliters is:
- Understand the conversion formula: ml = l × 1000
- Substitute the required value. In this case we substitute 4 for l so the formula becomes: m4 = l × 1000
- Calculate the result using the provided values. In our example the result is: 4 × 1000 = 4000 ml
In summary, 4 liters is equal to 4000 milliliters.
Converting milliliters to liters
In order to convert the other way around i.e. milliliters to liters, you would use the following formula: l = ml × 0.001. To convert milliliters to liters first substitute the milliliter value into the above formula, and then execute the calculation. If we wanted to calculate 1 milliliter in liters we follow these steps:
l = ml × 0.001
l = 1 × 0.001
l = 0.001
Or in other words, 1 milliliter is equal to 0.001 liters.
