Milliseconds to Seconds

Convert milliseconds (ms) to seconds (s) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Milliseconds (ms)

Seconds (s)

1 ms = 0.001 s

Full precision:0.001 s

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 milliseconds to seconds, we divide by 1000 because one second equals exactly 1000 milliseconds.

1 second = 1000 milliseconds

Since there are 1000 milliseconds in every second, we divide our value by this factor:

1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 seconds

So 1 milliseconds = 0.001 seconds.

✓Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 milliseconds

How to Convert Milliseconds to Seconds

To convert milliseconds to seconds, divide the value by 1000.

Seconds = Milliseconds ÷ 1000

1 second = 1000 milliseconds

Tip: To convert seconds back to milliseconds, multiply by 1000.

Example 1: 1 ms = 0.001 s
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001

Example 2: 5 ms = 0.005 s
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005

Example 3: 10 ms = 0.01 s
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
