What is the conversion factor between inches 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 inches and nanometers 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 inches 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 inch to nanometer, we will use the first fraction: 2.54e+7 nm1 in so that inches are canceled out. We then multiply the value in inches by this fraction to get the result in nanometers (see example).
Note that in 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 in to nm. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from inches to nanometers is:
Which is bigger, an inch or a nanometer?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a inch or an nanometer. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 in = 2.54e+7 nm
- 2.54e+7 nanometers is bigger than 1 nanometer.
- 1 inch is, therefore, bigger than 1 nanometer.
- To be more specific, a nanometer is 2.54e+7 times smaller than an inch.

How to convert inches 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:
- 42 x 1 = 42
- 433 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 433
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 10 inches into nanometers we multiply 10 in by the conversion factor of 2.54e+7 nm1 in
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, inches 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 10 inches are equal to 2.54e+8 nanometers.
Remember:
- When converting from inches to nanometers, we use 2.54e+7 nm1 in as a conversion factor.

How to convert 57 inches to nanometers?
We multiply 57 by the factor of 1
We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for inches to nanometers
We multiply 57 inches by the conversion factor. Having inches in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (in) leaving only nanometers in the final result.
Answer: There are 1.4478e+9 nanometers in 57 inches
How many nanometers are in 630 inches?
Multiply 630 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (in) is in the denominator.
This allows us to cancel out the inches (in) and leave the nanometers (nm)
Answer: There are 1.6002e+10 nanometers in 630 inches
