To rename a value from a smaller unit to a larger unit, divide the value by the conversion factor that relates the two units. For example, to convert 500 milliliters to liters, you would divide 500 by 1,000, since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. This gives you 0.5 liters. Always ensure you use the correct conversion factor for the specific units you are converting.

When converting from a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit of measure you should?
Divide by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in the smaller unit.
Why do you decrease the value if you use a larger unit and increase the value for a smaller unit?
Because, for any given amount, there are fewer larger units that will go into that amount.

Why it ms sense to multiply when you convert to a smaller unit?
It makes sense to multiply when converting measurements to smaller units because it takes many smaller units to make up a larger unit. So in order to translate larger unit(s) into smaller units, you have to break up the larger unit(s) into many smaller pieces.
