The handy millimeter calculator enables quick conversion of several metric and imperial units such as:

• Millimeters to inches; or
• Millimeteres to meters.

It also helps when you have other units and want to get its value in millimeters:

• Centimeters to millimeters; or
• Inches to millimeters.

## What are millimeters? Metric system conversion

Millimeters are the 1000th part of a meter. It is normally used to express the distance between two points or measure an object's length. For changing millimeters to meters, we use the next conversion factor:

$\footnotesize \rm{1 \ millimeter = 1 / 1000 \ meters = 0.001 \ m}$

Besides, the meter is defined as the distance of the path traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

Now, if we remember that 100 centimeters are 1 meter, then if we divide it by 1000:

$\footnotesize \rm{1 / 1000 \ m = 100 / 1000 \ cm}$
$\footnotesize \rm{1 \ millimeter = 0.1 \ cm}$

Also, if 1000 meters are 1 kilometer, then:

$\footnotesize \rm{1 \ m \times 1000 = 1000 \ mm \times 1000}$
$\footnotesize \rm{1 \ km = 1,000,000 \ mm}$

Keep reading. In this millimeter calculator, we will find out how to convert millimeters to inches and other units.

## How to convert millimeters to inches?

Our millimeter calculator has the feature to convert millimeters to several imperial system metrics. One of them is the inch. The inch definition is:

$\footnotesize \rm{1 \ inch = 2.54 \ cm}$.

So, if we know that 1 cm equals 10 mm, how many millimeters are in an inch? Quite easy:

$\footnotesize \rm{1 \ inch = 2.54 \ cm \times 10 = 25.4 \ mm}$.

Our millimeters calculator can also help you determine millimeter value expressed in yards, feet, and miles.
