Convert gauge to inch

Learn how to convert 1 gauge to inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (g a u g e) = x (i n c h)

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

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (g a u g e) = 1.435 (m e t e r) = 1.435 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (i n c h) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m e t e r) = 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (g a u g e) = x (i n c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.435 \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.435 \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.435 \cdot (m) = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

1.435 = x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = 1.435

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}} = 1.435 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}} = 1.435 \times \frac{1.0}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.435}{2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 1.435}{2.5400051}

Solve

x

x \approx 56.495949555 \approx 56.4959

Conversion Equation

1.0 (g a u g e) \approx 56.4959 (i n c h)
