Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to liters is 0.001, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.001 liters:

1 ml = 0.001 L

To convert 1 milliliter into liters we have to multiply 1 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from milliliters to liters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ml → 0.001 L

1 ml → V_(L)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in liters:

V_(L) = 1 ml × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.001 L

The final result is:

1 ml → 0.001 L

We conclude that 1 milliliter is equivalent to 0.001 liters:

1 milliliter = 0.001 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 1000 × 1 milliliter.

Another way is saying that 1 milliliter is equal to 1 ÷ 1000 liters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one milliliter is approximately zero point zero zero one liters:

1 ml ≅ 0.001 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately one thousand times one milliliter.
