Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to milliliters is 1000, which means that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters:

1 L = 1000 ml

To convert 12 liters into milliliters we have to multiply 12 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to milliliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 1000 ml

12 L → V_(ml)

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

V_(ml) = 12 L × 1000 ml

V_(ml) = 12000 ml

The final result is:

12 L → 12000 ml

We conclude that 12 liters is equivalent to 12000 milliliters:

12 liters = 12000 milliliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 milliliter is equal to 8.3333333333333E-5 × 12 liters.

Another way is saying that 12 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 8.3333333333333E-5 milliliters.

Approximate result

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

12 L ≅ 12000 ml

An alternative is also that one milliliter is approximately zero times twelve liters.
