What is the conversion factor between micrometers 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 micrometers and feet is 304800, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 304800 micrometers for every foot, and for every micrometer, there are 1304800 feet (3.28084e-6 ft).
To convert from micrometers to feet, 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 micrometer to foot, we will use the first fraction: 1 ft304800 μm so that micrometers are canceled out. We then multiply the value in micrometers by this fraction to get the result in feet (see example).
Note that μm 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 μm to ft. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from micrometers to feet is:
Which is bigger, a micrometer or a foot?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a micrometer or an foot. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 μm = 1304800 ft = 3.280839895e-6 ft
- 3.28084e-6 foot is smaller than 1 foot.
- 1 micrometer is, therefore, smaller than 1 foot.
- To be more specific, a foot is 304800 times bigger than a micrometer.

How to convert micrometers 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:
- 12 x 1 = 12
- 184 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 184
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+8 micrometers into feet we multiply 3.048e+8 μm by the conversion factor of 1 ft304800 μm
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, micrometers 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+8 micrometers are equal to 1000 feet.
Remember:
- When converting from micrometers to feet, we use 1 ft304800 μm as a conversion factor.
