How to convert milliliters to liters
L = mL × 0.001Multiply the value in milliliters by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A milliliter is smaller than a liter: it takes 1,000 milliliters to make one liter.

About the units
Milliliter (mL)
One thousandth of a litre, identical to one cubic centimetre. Medicine doses and small bottles use mL. One milliliter equals 0.000001 cubic meters (m³).
Liter (L)
Exactly one cubic decimetre (1,000 cm³). Drinks, fuel and engine displacement are measured in litres in most of the world. One liter equals 0.001 cubic meters (m³).
