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 256 liters into milliliters we have to multiply 256 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

256 L → V_(ml)

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

V_(ml) = 256 L × 1000 ml

V_(ml) = 256000 ml

The final result is:

256 L → 256000 ml

We conclude that 256 liters is equivalent to 256000 milliliters:

256 liters = 256000 milliliters
