Welcome to the inch converter, where we'll see how to convert inches to cm, mm, feet, etc. In essence, it all boils down to multiplying by the right factor, so all we need to do is learn what that number is. Since many of us prefer visuals to text, we present all the data in an elegant table and, in the case of imperial units (e.g., to convert inches to feet), we also give an easy-to-read chart.

Inch conversion table

As we've already mentioned, going from inches to other units means multiplying by the right factor. In other words, converting inches to mm, converting inches to centimeters, or converting inches to meters is all essentially the same; it's only the multiplier that changes.
In each row of the table below, we present the decimal number we multiply by when converting inches to the row's unit.

1 inch (in)

millimeter (mm)

25.4

centimeter (cm)

2.54

meter (m)

0.0254

kilometer (km)

0.0000254

foot or feet (ft)

0.08333

yard (yd)

0.02778

mile (mi)

0.000015783

nautical mile (nmi)

0.000013715

For instance, converting inches to millimeters requires multiplying the value in inches by 25.4. So, for example, 3 inches would be
3 in = 3 in * 25.4 mm/in = 76.2 mm.

In the case of imperial units, the calculations can be exceptionally simple, and all it takes is to understand the chart below.

Conversion chart for imperial length units.

If we start on the far right with inches, we can convert the inches to feet (or, using abbreviations, convert in to ft) by dividing by 12 (the right orange arrow). If we want to go further to yards, we need to additionally divide by 3 (the middle orange arrow). Lastly, converting even further to miles means an extra division by 1760 (the left orange arrow).
For instance, to convert 36 inches to yards would go as follows:
36 in = 36/12 ft = 3 ft = 3/3 yd = 1 yd.
