How the Unit Converter works

One liter is exactly 1,000 milliliters. That is the meaning of the metric prefixes, not a measurement: milli is a thousandth, centi a hundredth and kilo a thousand, so every conversion inside the metric system is a power of ten and nothing has to be looked up.

Worked through: 1 L x 1,000 = 1,000 ml.

Going the other way, one milliliter is 0.001 liters.

To convert without a calculator, multiply by 1,000. Rounding that to 1,000 is within 0% for most purposes.

A decimal shift: move the point three places to the right. A 2-liter soda bottle holds 2,000 ml, a standard 750 ml wine bottle is 0.75 l, and a 1.5 l magnum is 1,500 ml. Nutrition labels give a serving in milliliters and the bottle in liters, so the same shift reads one against the other.

Precision is worth matching to the input. A measurement given as 0.25 L carries one or two significant figures, and reporting its conversion to six implies a precision the original never had.
