Convert inch to caliber

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (i n c h) = x (c a l i b e r)

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

(m e t e r)

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

Right 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)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (i n c h) = x (c a l i b e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 4}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.5400051 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.54 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 2}}

Simplify

2.5400051 = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} = 2.5400051

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}} = 2.5400051 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}} = 2.5400051 \times \frac{1.0}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.5400051}{2.54 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2} \times 2.5400051}{2.54}

Solve

x

x \approx 100.00020079 \approx 1 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n c h) \approx 1 \times 10^{2} (c a l i b e r)
