What is the conversion factor between nanometers and feet?

A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.

The relationship between nanometers and feet is 3.048e+8, such as:

1 ft = 3.048e+8 nm

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 3.048e+8 nanometers for every foot, and for every nanometer, there are 13.048e+8 feet (3.28084e-9 ft).

To convert from nanometers to feet, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.

1 ft3.048e+8 nm = 3.048e+8 nm1 ft= 1

Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.

Because we are converting from nanometer to foot, we will use the first fraction: 1 ft3.048e+8 nm so that nanometers are canceled out. We then multiply the value in nanometers by this fraction to get the result in feet (see example).

Note that nm is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).

You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from nm to ft. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from nanometers to feet is:

1 ft3.048e+8 nm

Which is bigger, a nanometer or a foot?

When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a nanometer or an foot. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.

1 nm = 13.048e+8 ft = 3.280839895e-9 ft
3.28084e-9 foot is smaller than 1 foot.
1 nanometer is, therefore, smaller than 1 foot.
To be more specific, a foot is 3.048e+8 times bigger than a nanometer.

How to convert nanometers to feet?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

24 x 1 = 24
340 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 340

Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.

For example, if we want to convert 3.048e+10 nanometers into feet we multiply 3.048e+10 nm by the conversion factor of 1 ft3.048e+8 nm

3.048e+10 nm = 3.048e+10 nm x 1 = 3.048e+10 nm x 1 ft3.048e+8 nm = 100 ft

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nanometers are canceled out and we get the result in feet. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.

Based on this, we can conclude that 3.048e+10 nanometers are equal to 100 feet.

Remember:

When converting from nanometers to feet, we use 1 ft3.048e+8 nm as a conversion factor.

Try answering the following questions without using our custom conversion calculator. Knowing how to convert manually between nanometers and feet could prove to be useful, so give it a shot. Once you are confident you can convert nanometers to feet, there is no harm then in taking full advantage of the tools available to you.

How to convert 40 nanometers to feet?

We multiply 40 by the factor of 1

40 nm = 40 nm x 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for nanometers to feet

40 nm = 40 nm x 1 ft3.048e+8 nm

We multiply 40 nanometers by the conversion factor. Having nanometers in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (nm) leaving only feet in the final result.

40 nm = 40 nm x 1 ft3.048e+8 nm

40 nm = 40 x 13.048e+8 ft

40 nm = 1.31234e-7 ft

Answer: There are 1.31234e-7 feet in 40 nanometers

How many feet are in 600 nanometers?

Multiply 600 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (nm) is in the denominator.

600 nm = 600 nm x 1 ft3.048e+8 nm

This allows us to cancel out the nanometers (nm) and leave the feet (ft)

600 nm = 600 nm x 1 ft3.048e+8 nm

600 nm = 600 x 13.048e+8 ft

600 nm = 1.9685e-6 ft

Answer: There are 1.9685e-6 feet in 600 nanometers
