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.

Keep reading this short article and find out how this powerful calculator can help you in your daily routine.

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:

1 millimeter=1/1000 meters=0.001 m\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:

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

Also, if 1000 meters are 1 kilometer, then:

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

1 inch=2.54 cm\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:

1 inch=2.54 cm×10=25.4 mm\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.
