1 L, l = 100 cL. To convert liter to centiliter, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cL = 0.01 L, l). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 L, l = 100 cL
- 1 cL = 0.01 L, l
- 10 L, l = 1000 cL
- 100 L, l = 10000 cL
How to Convert Liter to Centiliter

Liter
The liter (L, l) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and other substances.
History/Origin
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system, based on the cubic decimeter, and has since become a standard unit of volume worldwide.
Current Use
The liter is widely used in science, industry, and daily life for measuring liquids, beverages, and other fluids, especially in countries using the metric system.
Centiliter
A centiliter (cL) is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
