How it works
result = amount × source factor ÷ destination factor. Factors are relative to m.
Input definitions
- Amount
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- From unit
- Choose m / km / cm / mm / in / ft / yd / mi / nautical mile.
- To unit
- Choose m / km / cm / mm / in / ft / yd / mi / nautical mile.
A worked example
- Amount
- 1000
- From unit
- m
- To unit
- km

Common questions
Why can a converted result differ in its last digits?
Display rounding and approximate measured unit factors can affect the final digits. Select more decimal places when available, and check that both tools use the same unit definition.
