Result = value × (factor of the unit you convert from) ÷ (factor of the unit you convert to), every factor being the size of the unit in m: 1 cm = 0.01 m 1 mm = 0.001 m 1 km = 1000 m 1 Å = 1 × 10-10 m 1 nm = 1 × 10-9 m 1 inch = 0.0254 m 1 ft = 0.3048 m
Worked example
1 Å = 1 × 1 × 10-10 ÷ 1 × 10-9 = 0.1 nm.
Quick reference
1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm = 0.001 km = 1 × 1010 Å = 1 × 109 nm = 39.3701 inch = 3.28084 ft
1 Å = 1 × 10-10 m = 1 × 10-8 cm = 1 × 10-7 mm = 1 × 10-13 km = 0.1 nm = 3.937008 × 10-9 inch = 3.28084 × 10-10 ft
1 nm = 1 × 10-9 m = 1 × 10-7 cm = 1 × 10-6 mm = 1 × 10-12 km = 10 Å = 3.937008 × 10-8 inch = 3.28084 × 10-9 ft
