Formula
megaliters = decaliters × 0.00001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 decaliter equals 0.01 base units, and 1 megaliter equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct decaliter-to-megaliter factor of 0.00001.
Simple example
1 daL × 0.00001 = 0.00001 ML
1 decaliter = 0.00001 megaliters.
Real-world example
10 daL × 0.00001 = 0.0001 ML
10 decaliters = 0.0001 megaliters.
