Convert chain to micron

Learn how to convert 1 chain to micron step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (m i c r o n)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (c h a i n) = 20.0 (m e t e r) = 20.0 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (m i c r o n) = 10^{- 6} (m e t e r) = 10^{- 6} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c h a i n) = x (m i c r o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 20.0 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 10^{- 6} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 10^{- 6} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 20.0 \cdot (m) = x \times 10^{- 6} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

20.0 = x \times 10^{- 6}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 6} = 20.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}})

x \times 10^{- 6} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} = 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 6} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} = 20.0 \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{20.0}{10^{- 6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} can be rewritten to 10^{6}

Rewrite

x = 10^{6} \times 20.0

Solve

x

x = 20000000 = 2 \times 10^{7}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c h a i n) = 2 \times 10^{7} (m i c r o n)
