What is the conversion factor between feet and nanometers?
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 feet and nanometers is 3.048e+8, such as:
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 feet to nanometers, 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 foot to nanometer, we will use the first fraction: 3.048e+8 nm1 ft so that feet are canceled out. We then multiply the value in feet by this fraction to get the result in nanometers (see example).
Note that ft 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 ft to nm. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from feet to nanometers is:
Which is bigger, a foot or a nanometer?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a foot or an nanometer. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 ft = 3.048e+8 nm
- 3.048e+8 nanometers is bigger than 1 nanometer.
- 1 foot is, therefore, bigger than 1 nanometer.
- To be more specific, a nanometer is 3.048e+8 times smaller than a foot.

How to convert feet to nanometers?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 80 x 1 = 80
- 767 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 767
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 100 feet into nanometers we multiply 100 ft by the conversion factor of 3.048e+8 nm1 ft
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, feet are canceled out and we get the result in nanometers. 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 100 feet are equal to 3.048e+10 nanometers.
Remember:
- When converting from feet to nanometers, we use 3.048e+8 nm1 ft as a conversion factor.

How to convert 88 feet to nanometers?
We multiply 88 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for feet to nanometers
We multiply 88 feet by the conversion factor. Having feet in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (ft) leaving only nanometers in the final result.
Answer: There are 2.68224e+10 nanometers in 88 feet
How many nanometers are in 495 feet?
Multiply 495 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (ft) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the feet (ft) and leave the nanometers (nm)
Answer: There are 1.50876e+11 nanometers in 495 feet
