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 1000 milliliters into liters we have to multiply 1000 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

1000 ml → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 1000 ml × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 1 L

The final result is:

1000 ml → 1 L

We conclude that 1000 milliliters is equivalent to 1 liters:

1000 milliliters = 1 liters

Alternative conversion

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

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

Approximate result

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

1000 ml ≅ 1 L

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