Conversion Formula
The formula to convert nanometers (nm) to inches (inch) is: inches = nanometers × 3.93701 × 10-8. This works because 1 nm equals 3.93701 × 10-8 inches, a value derived from the relationship between metric and imperial units. For example, converting 9 nm: 9 × 3.93701e-8 = 3.543309e-7 inches.
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 nm: 15 × 3.93701e-8 = 5.905515e-7 inches.
- Convert 20 nm: 20 × 3.93701e-8 = 7.87402e-7 inches.
- Convert 0.5 nm: 0.5 × 3.93701e-8 = 1.968505e-8 inches.
- Convert 100 nm: 100 × 3.93701e-8 = 3.93701e-6 inches.
- Convert 2 nm: 2 × 3.93701e-8 = 7.87402e-8 inches.
Explanation for 100 nm example:
- Start with 100 nm.
- Use the conversion factor 3.93701e-8.
- Multiply: 100 × 3.93701e-8 = 3.93701e-6 inches.

Conversion Definitions
nm
Nanometer (nm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one-billionth of a meter, used mainly to measure extremely small distances like wavelengths of light or atomic structures, providing precise scale for nanotechnology and scientific measurements.
inch
An inch is a customary unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 1/12 of a foot or exactly 2.54 centimeters, used primarily in the United States and some other countries for measuring small to moderate lengths in everyday life and industry.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is the conversion from nanometers to inches for 9 nm?
The conversion is precise to eight decimal places when using the factor 3.93701 × 10-8, ensuring minimal error for small measurements like 9 nm, which results in approximately 0.000000354 inches.
Why is the converted value so small?
Because nanometers are extremely tiny units—one-billionth of a meter—when converted to inches, the result is a very small decimal, reflecting that 9 nm is an incredibly tiny length compared to everyday inches.
Can I use this conversion for other small measurements?
Yes, this formula applies universally for any nanometer value, allowing you to convert any nanometer measurement into inches by multiplying with 3.93701e-8, providing accurate results for very small lengths.
