What is the conversion factor between millimeters 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 millimeters and feet is 304.8, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 304.8 millimeters for every foot, and for every millimeter, there are 1304.8 feet (0.00328084 ft).
To convert from millimeters 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 millimeter to foot, we will use the first fraction: 1 ft304.8 mm so that millimeters are canceled out. We then multiply the value in millimeters by this fraction to get the result in feet (see example).
Note that mm 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 mm to ft. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from millimeters to feet is:
Which is bigger, a millimeter or a foot?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a millimeter or an foot. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 mm = 1304.8 ft = 0.003280839895 ft
- 0.00328084 foot is smaller than 1 foot.
- 1 millimeter is, therefore, smaller than 1 foot.
- To be more specific, a foot is 304.8 times bigger than a millimeter.

How to convert millimeters 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:
- 89 x 1 = 89
- 347 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 347
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 304800 millimeters into feet we multiply 304800 mm by the conversion factor of 1 ft304.8 mm
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, millimeters 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 304800 millimeters are equal to 1000 feet.
Remember:
- When converting from millimeters to feet, we use 1 ft304.8 mm as a conversion factor.
