Interactive nanometers to millimeters conversion tool

The nm to mm converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert nanometers to millimeters. Simply enter the number of nanometers you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in millimeters.

What is the conversion factor between nanometers and millimeters?

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 nanometers and millimeters is 1e+6, such as:

1 mm = 1e+6 nm

Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1e+6 nanometers for every millimeter, and for every nanometer, there are 11e+6 millimeters (1e-6 mm).

To convert from nanometers to millimeters, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.

1 mm1e+6 nm = 1e+6 nm1 mm= 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 nanometer to millimeter, we will use the first fraction: 1 mm1e+6 nm so that nanometers are canceled out. We then multiply the value in nanometers by this fraction to get the result in millimeters (see example).

Note that nm 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).

Conversion factor = Unit you are converting toUnit you are converting from

You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from nm to mm. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from nanometers to millimeters is:

1 mm1e+6 nm

Which is bigger, a nanometer or a millimeter?

When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a nanometer or an millimeter. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.

1 nm = 11e+6 mm = 1e-6 mm
1e-6 millimeter is smaller than 1 millimeter.
1 nanometer is, therefore, smaller than 1 millimeter.
To be more specific, a millimeter is 1e+6 times bigger than a nanometer.

How to convert nanometers to millimeters?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

68 x 1 = 68
233 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 233

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 1000 nanometers into millimeters we multiply 1000 nm by the conversion factor of 1 mm1e+6 nm

1000 nm = 1000 nm x 1 = 1000 nm x 1 mm1e+6 nm = 0.001 mm

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nanometers are canceled out and we get the result in millimeters. 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 1000 nanometers are equal to 0.001 millimeters.

Remember:

When converting from nanometers to millimeters, we use 1 mm1e+6 nm as a conversion factor.

Once you are confident you can convert nanometers to millimeters, there is no harm then in taking full advantage of the tools available to you.

How to convert 70 nanometers to millimeters?

We multiply 70 by the factor of 1

70 nm = 70 nm x 1

We replace the number 1 with the conversion factor for nanometers to millimeters

70 nm = 70 nm x 1 mm1e+6 nm

We multiply 70 nanometers by the conversion factor. Having nanometers in the denominator allows us to cancel out the undesired units (nm) leaving only millimeters in the final result.

70 nm = 70 nm x 1 mm1e+6 nm

70 nm = 70 x 11e+6 mm

70 nm = 7e-5 mm

Answer: There are 7e-5 millimeters in 70 nanometers

How many millimeters are in 395 nanometers?

Multiply 395 by the conversion factor. Make sure the unwanted unit (nm) is in the denominator.

395 nm = 395 nm x 1 mm1e+6 nm

This allows us to cancel out the nanometers (nm) and leave the millimeters (mm)

395 nm = 395 nm x 1 mm1e+6 nm

395 nm = 395 x 11e+6 mm

395 nm = 0.000395 mm

Answer: There are 0.000395 millimeters in 395 nanometers
