Changing Liters into Milliliters
Download Article
1 Note that “milli” means one-thousandth. A great trick for remembering the difference between liters and milliliters lies in knowing the definition of the prefix. Since “milli” means one-thousandth, a milliliter is 1/1,000 of a liter.[1]XResearch source
2 Multiply the number of liters (L) by 1,000 to find the number of milliliters (mL). There are 1,000 times as many milliliters as there are liters.[2]XResearch source
For instance, say you have 3 liters. Simply multiply 3 liters by 1,000 to get 3,000 milliliters. Therefore, 3 L = 3,000 mL.

3 Keep in mind that liters (L) and milliliters (mL) measure volume. “Volume,” also known as capacity, refers to how much three-dimensional space an object occupies. In most cases, liters and milliliters are used to measure the volume of liquid or gas.[3]XResearch source

Converting Milliliters Back into Liters

1 Remember that milliliters (mL) are smaller units than liters (L). Keep in mind that “milli” means “one-thousandth,” so a milliliter is one-thousandth the size of a liter. Therefore, there will be fewer liters than milliliters.[4]XResearch source
2 Divide the number of milliliters (mL) by 1,000 to get the number of liters (L). Remember that there are 1,000 milliliters in every liter.[5]XResearch source
For instance, let’s say you have 7,500 milliliters. Divide 7,500 milliliters by 1,000 to get 7.5 liters. So, 7,500 mL = 7.5 L.
3 Note that milliliters (mL) and liters (L) are metric units. If you don’t have a lot of experience measuring volume in milliliters or liters, that may be because you aren’t familiar with the metric system, and both mL and L are metric units.[6]XResearch source In the U.S., units like cups, pints, quarts, and gallons are more commonly used to measure volume.[7]XResearch source
