Conversion Formula
The formula for converting nanometers to inches is: inches = nanometers × 3.93701 × 10-8. This works because 1 nm equals 3.93701 × 10-8 inches, based on the conversion factor between metric and imperial units. Multiplying the number of nanometers by this factor gives the length in inches. For example, 50 nm: 50 × 3.93701e-8 = 1.968505e-6 inches.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 nm to inches:
- Multiply 10 by 3.93701 × 10-8
- 10 × 3.93701e-8 = 3.93701e-7 inches
- Convert 100 nm to inches:
- 100 × 3.93701e-8 = 3.93701e-6 inches
- Convert 250 nm to inches:
- 250 × 3.93701e-8 = 9.842525e-6 inches
- Convert 75 nm to inches:
- 75 × 3.93701e-8 = 2.95275575e-6 inches
