Convert inch to mil

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (i n c h) = x (m i l)

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

Right side: 1.0 (m i l) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (i n c h) = x (m i l)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m e t e r) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m) = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

2.54 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 2.54 \times {10^{- 5}}^{10^{- 3}}

Simplify

1.0 = x \times 10^{- 3}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{- 3} = 1.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}})

x \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} = \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} = \frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} can be rewritten to 10^{3}

Rewrite

x = 10^{3}

Solve

x

x = 1000 = 1 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (i n c h) = 1 \times 10^{3} (m i l)
