Milliseconds to seconds conversion rate

A millisecond (ms) is a tiny unit of time, equal to 1/1000th of a second:
1 ms = 0.001 seconds

In other words, one second is the same as 1000 milliseconds.
1 second = 1000 ms

So how do we convert milliseconds to seconds? It's simple — we divide by 1000. For example, 425 ms in seconds would be:
425 ms = 425/1000 seconds = 0.425 seconds

On the flip side, to convert seconds to ms, we multiply by 1000. For instance, 12 seconds would be:
12 seconds = 12 x 1000 ms = 12,000 ms
