Conversion formula

The conversion factor from deciliters to milliliters is 100, which means that 1 deciliter is equal to 100 milliliters:

1 dL = 100 ml

To convert 42 deciliters into milliliters we have to multiply 42 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from deciliters to milliliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dL → 100 ml

42 dL → V_(ml)

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

V_(ml) = 42 dL × 100 ml

V_(ml) = 4200 ml

The final result is:

42 dL → 4200 ml

We conclude that 42 deciliters is equivalent to 4200 milliliters:

42 deciliters = 4200 milliliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 milliliter is equal to 0.00023809523809524 × 42 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 42 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00023809523809524 milliliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-two deciliters is approximately four thousand two hundred milliliters:

42 dL ≅ 4200 ml

An alternative is also that one milliliter is approximately zero times forty-two deciliters.
