How length conversion works

All metric length units are powers of 10 apart (1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm), making metric conversions a simple matter of moving the decimal point.

Imperial and metric units are related by fixed conversion factors — for example, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 mile is exactly 1,609.344 meters. This calculator uses those exact factors for every conversion.
