Convert lambda to firkin

Learn how to convert 1 lambda to firkin step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (l a m b d a) = x (f i r k i n)

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

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (l a m b d a) = 10^{- 9} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 10^{- 9} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (f i r k i n) = 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (l a m b d a) = x (f i r k i n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 9} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 10^{- 9} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

10^{- 9} = x \times 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

{10^{- 9}}^{10^{- 7}} = x \times 3.4068706056 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

10^{- 7} = x \times 3.4068706056

Switch sides

x \times 3.4068706056 = 10^{- 7}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.4068706056})

x \times 3.4068706056 \times \frac{1.0}{3.4068706056} = 10^{- 7} \times \frac{1.0}{3.4068706056}

Cancel

x \times 3.4068706056 \times \frac{1.0}{3.4068706056} = 10^{- 7} \times \frac{1.0}{3.4068706056}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 7}}{3.4068706056}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000294 \approx 2.9352 \times 10^{- 8}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (l a m b d a) \approx 2.9352 \times 10^{- 8} (f i r k i n)
