What is the conversion factor between miles and micrometers?
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 miles and micrometers is 1.609344e+9, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1.609344e+9 micrometers for every mile, and for every micrometer, there are 11.609344e+9 miles (6.21371e-10 mi).
To convert from miles to micrometers, 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 mile to micrometer, we will use the first fraction: 1.609344e+9 μm1 mi so that miles are canceled out. We then multiply the value in miles by this fraction to get the result in micrometers (see example).
Note that mi 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 mi to μm. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from miles to micrometers is:
Which is bigger, a mile or a micrometer?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a mile or an micrometer. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 mi = 1.609344e+9 μm
- 1.60934e+9 micrometers is bigger than 1 micrometer.
- 1 mile is, therefore, bigger than 1 micrometer.
- To be more specific, a micrometer is 1.60934e+9 times smaller than a mile.

How to convert miles to micrometers?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 84 x 1 = 84
- 602 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 602
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 0.1 miles into micrometers we multiply 0.1 mi by the conversion factor of 1.609344e+9 μm1 mi
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, miles are canceled out and we get the result in micrometers. 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 0.1 miles are equal to 1.60934e+8 micrometers.
Remember:
- When converting from miles to micrometers, we use 1.609344e+9 μm1 mi as a conversion factor.
