Conversion Formula
The formula to convert liters (l) to quarts (qt) uses a constant multiplier. Since 1 liter equals about 1.05669 quarts, the formula is:
quarts = liters × 1.05669
This works because liters and quarts both measure volume, but in different systems: liters in metric, quarts in US customary. The multiplier bridges the size difference between the two units.
Example calculation for 1.5 liters:
- Start with 1.5 liters.
- Multiply by 1.05669 quarts per liter: 1.5 × 1.05669 = 1.585035.
- Result rounds to about 1.585 quarts.
Conversion Example
- Convert 3 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 3 by 1.05669.
- 3 × 1.05669 = 3.17007 quarts.
- So, 3 liters equals approximately 3.170 quarts.
- Convert 0.75 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 0.75 by 1.05669.
- 0.75 × 1.05669 = 0.79252 quarts.
- Therefore, 0.75 liters is about 0.793 quarts.
- Convert 10 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 10 by 1.05669.
- 10 × 1.05669 = 10.5669 quarts.
- Hence, 10 liters equals roughly 10.567 quarts.
- Convert 5.3 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 5.3 by 1.05669.
- 5.3 × 1.05669 = 5.59746 quarts.
- So, 5.3 liters is approximately 5.597 quarts.

Conversion Definitions
l (liter): A liter is metric unit for volume, equal to one cubic decimeter (dm³) or 1,000 cubic centimeters. It’s used worldwide for measuring liquids, such as water, milk, or fuel. The liter is part of the metric system and widely recognized in science, industry, and everyday life.
quarts: A quart is a volume unit in US customary and British imperial systems, equaling one-quarter of a gallon. In the US, one quart equals about 0.94635 liters. Quarts are commonly used in cooking, automotive fluids, and other liquid measurements where metric units aren’t preferred.
Conversion FAQs
Can I convert liters to quarts without a calculator?
Yes, you can estimate by remembering that 1 liter is roughly 1.06 quarts. For quick mental math, multiplying liters by about 1.05 to 1.06 gives a close approximation. However, for precise needs, a calculator or formula is better as small differences might matter in scientific or culinary use.
Why do US quarts differ from UK quarts?
The US quart is based on the US customary system, where 1 quart equals approximately 0.94635 liters. The UK (imperial) quart is larger, about 1.13652 liters. This difference arises from historical variations in measurement systems, so always confirm which quart type applies when converting.
Does temperature affect conversion between liters and quarts?
Temperature can change the volume of liquids slightly, but the liter-to-quart conversion itself stays constant because it’s based on defined units. However, in very precise scientific work, temperature-caused volume changes might require corrections beyond simple unit conversion.
Are liters and quarts interchangeable in recipes?
Not exactly. Since liters and quarts are different units, substituting one for another without conversion can cause errors in volume measurements. Always convert properly using the factor 1 liter = 1.05669 quarts to maintain recipe accuracy.
How to convert quarts back to liters?
To convert quarts to liters, divide the number of quarts by 1.05669. This reverses the conversion from liters to quarts. For example, 2 quarts divided by 1.05669 equals approximately 1.8927 liters.
