About a million?

Explanation:

1*mL1mL == 1*cm^31cm3, are we agreed on this?

But 1*cm^31cm3 == (1xx10^-2*m)^3(1×102m)3, because the "centi prefix"centi prefix -= 10^-2102.

And thus (1xx10^-2*m)^3(1×102m)3 == 1xx10^-2*mxx1xx10^-2*mxx1xx10^-2*m=1×102m×1×102m×1×102m=

1xx10^-6*m^31×106m3

And so finally, (1*mL)/(1*m^3)=(1xx10^-6*m^3)/(1*m^3)=10^-61mL1m3=1×106m31m3=106.

Alternatively (finally again) (1*m^3)/(1*mL)=(1*m^3)/(1xx10^-6*m^3)=10^(+6)1m31mL=1m31×106m3=10+6.

Thus there are 10^6106, "one million"one million, mLmL in a "cubic meter"cubic meter.

We use the same methodology to show that there are 1000*L1000L in a "cubic meter"cubic meter. A m^3m3 is a VERY large volume.
