The units of measurement go like this:

Kilo, hecto, deca, unit, deci, centi, mili

When you move to the right, you move the decimal one place to the right, and when you move left, you move the decimal one place to the right

If you’re changing milliliters to liters (unit), you have to more the decimal 3 times to the left. This makes it 2.396 liters
