What is the conversion factor between nanometers and inches?
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 inches is 2.54e+7, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 2.54e+7 nanometers for every inch, and for every nanometer, there are 12.54e+7 inches (3.93701e-8 in).
To convert from nanometers to inches, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 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 inch, we will use the first fraction: 1 in2.54e+7 nm so that nanometers are canceled out. We then multiply the value in nanometers by this fraction to get the result in inches (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 in. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from nanometers to inches is:
Which is bigger, a nanometer or an inch?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a nanometer or an inch. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 nm = 12.54e+7 in = 3.937007874e-8 in
- 3.93701e-8 inch is smaller than 1 inch.
- 1 nanometer is, therefore, smaller than 1 inch.
- To be more specific, an inch is 2.54e+7 times bigger than a nanometer.

How to convert nanometers to inches?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 50 x 1 = 50
- 909 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 909
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 2.54e+10 nanometers into inches we multiply 2.54e+10 nm by the conversion factor of 1 in2.54e+7 nm
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nanometers are canceled out and we get the result in inches. 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 2.54e+10 nanometers are equal to 1000 inches.
Remember:
- When converting from nanometers to inches, we use 1 in2.54e+7 nm as a conversion factor.
