Common mistakes
- Multiplying instead of dividing. A liter is larger than a pint, so the number of liters must come out smaller: 1 pint = 0.473176 L.
- Using the imperial (UK) unit. This page uses US measures. An imperial gallon is 4.546 L (20% more than a US gallon), an imperial pint 568 ml and an imperial fluid ounce 28.41 ml.
- Rounding too early. Keep the full factor until the last step; rounding 0.473 to 0.5 first puts large values noticeably off.
