Conversion Formula
The conversion from nanometers to inches uses the formula: inches = nanometers × 3.93701 × 10-8. This works because 1 nm equals 3.93701 × 10-8 inches. For example, to convert 60 nm: 60 × 3.93701e-8 = 0.002362206 inches, which rounds to approximately 0.00236 inches.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 nm to inches:
- Multiply 100 by 3.93701 × 10-8
- 100 × 3.93701e-8 = 3.93701e-6 inches
- Result is approximately 0.00000394 inches
- Convert 45 nm to inches:
- Multiply 45 by 3.93701 × 10-8
- 45 × 3.93701e-8 = 1.77015e-6 inches
- Result is approximately 0.00000177 inches
- Convert 75 nm to inches:
- Multiply 75 by 3.93701 × 10-8
- 75 × 3.93701e-8 = 2.95276e-6 inches
- Result is approximately 0.00000295 inches
