Convert caliber to palm

Learn how to convert 1 caliber to palm step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c a l i b e r) = x (p a l m)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (c a l i b e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (p a l m) = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c a l i b e r) = x (p a l m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m) = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 4} = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.54 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 2}} = x \times 7.62 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

2.54 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 7.62

Switch sides

x \times 7.62 = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{7.62})

x \times 7.62 \times \frac{1.0}{7.62} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{7.62}

Cancel

x \times 7.62 \times \frac{1.0}{7.62} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{7.62}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}{7.62}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0033333333 \approx 3.3333 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c a l i b e r) \approx 3.3333 \times 10^{- 3} (p a l m)
