Example calculation:
- Start with 1.5 liters.
- Multiply 1.5 by 1.05669 (conversion factor): 1.5 × 1.05669 = 1.585035.
- The result is 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 5 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 5 by 1.05669.
- 5 × 1.05669 = 5.28345 quarts.
- Hence, 5 liters equals roughly 5.283 quarts.
- Convert 10 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 10 by 1.05669.
- 10 × 1.05669 = 10.5669 quarts.
- So, 10 liters converts to about 10.567 quarts.

Conversion Definitions
Liter (l): A liter is a metric unit for measuring volume, equal to one cubic decimeter or 1,000 cubic centimeters. It is commonly used worldwide for liquids, like water, milk, and fuel. The liter is not part of the SI base units but accepted for use with them.
Quart (qt): A quart is a unit of volume used primarily in the US customary and imperial systems. It equals a quarter of a gallon or two pints. The US liquid quart differs slightly from the UK quart, with the US quart being about 0.946 liters.
Conversion FAQs
Does the conversion from liters to quarts change for liquids other than water?
No, the conversion factor between liters and quarts is based on volume units, not the substance being measured. Whether it’s water, oil, or milk, 1 liter always equals approximately 1.05669 quarts, regardless of the liquid’s density or other properties.
Why is there a difference between US and UK quarts when converting from liters?
The US liquid quart and the UK quart differ slightly in size. The US quart is about 0.946 liters, while the UK quart is roughly 1.136 liters. This difference means converting liters to quarts depends on which quart measurement system you want to use.
Can I directly convert liters to dry quarts using this formula?
No, the formula provided converts liters to liquid quarts only. Dry quarts measure volume for dry goods and have a different size, so a separate conversion factor applies for dry quarts.
Is rounding necessary when converting 1.5 liters to quarts?
Rounding depends on the required precision. For most practical purposes, rounding 1.5 liters to 1.585 quarts or 1.59 quarts is sufficient. Scientific or engineering contexts might require more decimal places.
How can I convert quarts back to liters?
To convert quarts to liters, divide the number of quarts by 1.05669. This reverses the conversion, giving you the volume in liters from the quarts value.
