How to convert inches to nautical miles?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 38 x 1 = 38
- 749 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 749
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 18.52 inches into nautical miles we multiply 18.52 in by the conversion factor of 0.0254 nmi1852 in
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, inches are canceled out and we get the result in nautical miles. 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 18.52 inches are equal to 0.000254 nautical miles.
Remember:
- When converting from inches to nautical miles, we use 0.0254 nmi1852 in as a conversion factor.
