A litre is a thousand cubic centimetres. It is not strictly an SI unit — the SI unit of volume is the cubic metre — but it is accepted for use with SI and is what fuel, drinks and engines are measured in.

A US fluid ounce is 29.57 ml; a UK one is 28.41 ml. They are different units with the same name, and recipes rarely say which they mean.

How many US fluid ounces are in a litre?

Is this conversion exact, or rounded?

The ratio is exact. It is not a rounded constant typed into a table: it is derived from the definitions of the two units, so it agrees with any other correct converter to as many digits as you care to compare.

Why does another converter show a slightly different number?

Almost always rounding rather than disagreement. Many converters cut the answer to two or four decimals, and some carry a factor that was rounded before the multiplication rather than after. The figures here are computed from the exact definitions and only rounded on the way to the screen.
